Hi and welcome, Jessica! Congrats on completing C25K - that's awesome! You'll have to let us know how the Turkey Trot goes - I love race reports. I really like your signature - good reminder.

TaraTea- So glad to hear the obstacle course race was fun, even with the time problems. If you don't do a half this year, do you think you'll do one next year?

I loved the half. The funniest thing to me was how different my mindset was in a long race. Motivation-wise, I felt really dialed in. A big part of me wants to try for a marathon, but at the same time, I'm not sure if it's the best choice or not.

This winter, my goal is to increase my speed. Soon, the snow and ice will be here and long distance running will be really difficult. But the treadmill at the gym is always available for speed training. I don't like speed training, but I love the results! I want to set new PRs next year.
