With only a day or so left in the month, and just coming down off of food poisoning and a head cold, I thought I’d set up October to be something of a challenge month for myself, trying to get back on the cart with regard to my foreshortened fitness plan, et cetera.

Starting October 1, I will be back at things, starting with the morning running and some other timely fitness bits. I’m setting the goal of running a cumulative marathon over the month of October. That is, adding up all my times and distances, I will aim to run a total of 42 kilometers between October 1 and Halloween, inclusive. It’s going to be particularly tough as I’ll be on the road more often next month, but it’s going to get done… rain, dark, snow, or whatever.
