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!

  2. 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?

  11. 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!
