Here’s my running journey/journal for the month of October! After every run I do, I write a little bit about how it went and usually (but not always) try to take a photo and include my Strava stats as a screenshot.

The total amount I ran for October was (only) 90.22km. Not too bad, but not as much as I have been doing. Ah well, that’s life, I guess. I tried my best to run 4x a week as usual but sometimes I missed it due to travel and other reasons.

Tuesday October 1

I wasn’t able to do my usual Monday run because we were traveling home all day from our week’s vacation on the Oregon coast. And since I have today off still, I went for an 8km run to my fave bakery because today they were launching a new croissant — tiramisu!!! Ran/walked intervals of 40 seconds running, 20 seconds walking. It was okay.

Here it is:
