in a word....

I've had such a crazy week. Things aren't letting up, either. I've decided to capture the highs and lows of the week by sharing a photo and a one-word caption to describe each of the past 7 days. Yes, I am THAT strapped for time today. Here is a snapshot of what has been happening in Rae-land:

1. Delicious
2. F@%&*!!!
3. Spooky
4. Spirit
5. Why??
6. Tradition
7. EVIL


Next, a quick update as OktoberFast comes to an end. My goals for the month were to:
1. Avoid the Starbucks drive-thru all month.
I was successful with this challenge. Not only did I avoid my grande americanos, but I avoided ALL drive-thrus. My car was a beverage and food-free zone and I love it!

2. 50 miles on foot
I accomplished 41 miles. At first I felt a little disappointed in this, until I realized this is probably the most I've ever ran in a 31-day period. And hey - we still technically have 1 day left this month, so maybe I'll squeeze in another 4-5miles. ;)

November will soon be upon us. There is still time to find a worthy adversary for the Throwdown!

    Well done on the mileage, good luck on resisting the candy and bummer about the car! Looks pricey.

    I still don't have an adversary for your throwdown, but I need one. Any ideas?

    Great job with your mileage! I don't have a throwdown partner, but I'm up for the challenge if you know one of your followers that is comparable to me.

    Candy is very very evil... and it makes turns your elbows orange, or so I have been told. That aint worth it, so stay away!

    Hope the car accident was just a fender bender.

    Have a Great week!
