Happy Monday and weekly check-in

Firstly:
Congrats to [personal profile] losingit and everyone who raced this weekend! If you haven't done so already, tell us how your race went, we'd love to hear about it and congratulate you!

Second:
Inspiring quote for today:
Take care of yourself. Eat well, rest, train hard and smart, make time to think and breathe. Be intentional with your time.

-Kristin Armstrong, Author and runner

And lastly:
Any difficult goals you're stretching for this season? How do you deal with the fall/winter blahs and bad weather if you're Northern Hemisphere and the transition to summer race readiness for those of you in the South?

I'd like to break 30 mins for 5K. It may well be naive to think I can, considering the amount of training I put it.

October/November are my worst months for depression, and I'm trying to be very aware of it, since I know one of the things that help the most is getting outside during daylight hours as much as possible. I was thinking about getting up early (5:20 am - sunrise at 7:20 am) tomorrow to go for a run, but maybe I'll wait until afternoon just to catch more daylight.
