Octoberathon is over!! I have a total of 117 miles under my belt from my 31 October runs. It went by really fast - and now that it's over...it wasn't bad at all. I would definitely do it again. It was so easy to head out and do a 2-miler on my usual non-running days. I hope I remember how easy they are in November...since I'm not officially training for anything right now (and we're losing an hour of daylight on Sunday), my biggest fear is that I'll come home from work every day and curl up on the couch without giving running a second thought. I think I'll try and run with the Running Room group on Wednesdays and Sundays - just so I have an excuse to get outside.
Anyway. Two final 2-milers wrapped up Octoberathon. I really wanted to end with a long run, but I have been so busy that I just didn't have time. I barely had time to squeeze in these last two - I went to the Lion King immediately after last night's run and I was actually a few minutes late to tonight's belly dancing class because of my run. Maybe I'll begin Novemberathon with a nice long run.
Kidding! There is no Novemberathon.
But I have decided to do a monthly challenge. And this month's challenge is...NaBloPoMo! I'm going to take it up a notch and not only post on this blog every day (and seeing how I'm not running every day, coming up with content might be a stretch), but I'm also going to start posting a daily photo on my Daily Photo Blog. Please note: the last daily photo was posted in July. So this could be a challenge. But not quite as challenging as running every day. :)

Congratulations!
An Octoberathon is not an easy task and you made it seem easy.
I am looking forward to your participation in NaBloPoMo. That is how I found your blog last year! There is no way I can force myself to do that again this year. I have nothing to write about as it is!
