Welcome back to this week’s summary. I cannot believe that we are in November – this year has just flown by! To be honest, these next two months are two of my favorite months of the year so I am really looking forward to it!
As for running updates, this past month I selected and entered my next marathon for next year – and I am pretty excited about it! I will have a post this week about the marathon I chose and why. Also, I am still on my running streak for 2015 – at least 1 mile per day everyday. Running 1 mile a day is not a lot, but it is harder than I would have figured on some days!
Here are the posts from this week. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow!
