Today is the first day of October. To which I say: WHAT. This summer was awesome, and I'm just not ready to let it go (let's face it: I'm never ready to let summer go). But this year it just seemed to fly by so quickly and fall weather came on like an asthma attack: quick, unwelcome and almost unprovoked. I love boots, jeans and sweaters, but with the changing of the leaves, my fingers and toes freeze up, not to thaw for 9 more months. It's not a change I love.
This summer was absolutely fantastic, as I have mentioned. The one good thing about October is that I fully expect it to be a continuation of the awesomeness of the summer as far as my social schedule goes, so hopefully that will distract me from the weather growing ever colder. I've got something booked every weekend this month, whether it's the nuptials of my (probably) future-in-laws, my first 5k being chased by zombies, or a visit from my favorite young married couple. It should be a good month.
I'm on week 7 of my running program. The other day I ran about 2 miles without stopping. I can unequivocally say that is the longest distance I have ever run without walking in my entire life. I've never been a runner, but I'm not hating it this time around. Also, yesterday I joined a gym, so hopefully I won't lose momentum as the weather gets colder and my lack of warm running gear becomes an issue.
Plus, I've got two brand-spanking-new roommates, who moved in this weekend. After the stress and drama of the apartment search, I'm looking forward to settling in and getting to know them. I'm optimistic about the situation.
So, here's to starting the fall off on a good (if frozen) foot. I just need to get my butt to the store and stock up on wool socks and fingerless gloves for typing at work.
