Have a great trip, Nici! You reminded me of a place where I used to stop and walk on the way to my parents' house -- a nice little hike up to a great view of a river.

November goals:

1. Complete Week 9 of C25K program. Goal 1 met!
2. Run a 5K on Nov. 7. Goal 2 met!
3. Run a 5K on Nov. 21. Goal 3 met!
4. After C25K is complete, begin running 4 days/week. Goal 4 met!

I ran an additional 5K yesterday (won my age group again!), so I would call this a successful month for my exercise goals. Didn't quite meet all my weight loss goals (see other thread), but overall, I'm happy with how exercise is helping me maintain a good weight.

Way to go, HereIStand!

I switched from keeping track of time to keeping track of laps. (I swim for exercise.) I'm getting better and better at swimming!

Well... I didn't totally fail, but I didn't achieve my goal either, but I think I have learned what I need to do, so ready to get after it in Dec. I did fine with cardio, need to get a routine with the other stuff.

Best to all

I met my goals on the very last day!
