Monthly Recap! October 2018

October flew by! Tell me how your October was and what you did/read! I didn’t get a chance to get to spooky Halloween reads because the month sort of got away from me. However, I am very much looking forward to Christmas and think I’m already going to start planning out some holiday reads!! Are you a big holiday reads person? If so, please do tell me what you’re reading because I’d love all your recs!

Favorite Things in October:

So, after a month+ of not running, I was given the go-ahead by my sports chiropractor to start running again and I couldn’t be more happy. I lost so much cardio and it has felt like the slowest journey to work my way back up but I know I have to start somewhere and also know I need to continue to take it slow so I can continue to heal. (My ankle is feeling a lot better and my hip is ehh but improving…)

Anyway, one of my favorite things is that I was able to run up to 3 miles so I jumped on that and signed up for a fun pirate themed race and was so happy to do a race again!

I also got to participate in a climbing competition, putting myself in the lowest category so I wouldn’t push myself and further my injuries – it was a lot of fun!
