Nice 3 mile walk with my sister.  It was a beautiful fall night.  So fun to catch up since she lives in N. Carolina and I only see her a couple times a year!

Walked for almost an hour with Heather, can you believe we only got in 2.5 miles? (Yes I wore my Garmin)

Some new running goals:

1.  Get back to 25 mi. (or more) a week consistently

2.  Get back to cross-training (at least 1 strength class a week and 1 other activity of my choice besides running)

3.  Smash my 10k PR

Nov. 7th will re-assess, if all goals met, then taking my hubby to Samuri 21

Wow- where did the week go? I had a nice run today around 11am.  Probably a bit too hillly for so soon after the marathon, my right calf was a little sore.  I played "don't look at the Garmin" and just listened to my body and tried to keep a consistent easy pace.  Pleasantly surprised myself that my av. pace was 8:45.  Next week its time to get back in the groove. Took my post marathon week off (well besides 2 easy runs).   I think I'll sign up for Snow Canyon Half to stay motivated.
