I feel like I missed November since it was summer in Australia, but here we are at the last Friday of the month. That means it’s time to head over to the runfessional at Marcia’s Healthy Slice to cleanse our souls soles before we head into December.

I am back from Australia and truly suffering from jet lag, but it was worth it. I’m going to break my recap into several posts and start by telling you where I went running in Melborune.
They did not #Respectthebird!
We arrived November 7 and they were putting up decorations all over town. I loved the decorations on the bridges and made it a mission to run over them later in the week.

Welcome to the 🍁 November 🍁 Ultimate Coffee Date. I’ve joined coffee dates from Switzerland and Denmark but this is the first time I’m joining from down under in Australia! No matter where you are, you are welcome to join … Continue reading
I’ve always loved Halloween and Peloton helps me get into the 🎃holiday spirit 🎃 with so many fun classes—from silly to spooky. 👻💀 On the other hand, I think my office complex goes overboard with Halloween-themed decor to attract selfie-taking tourists. 
Plus, nothing is as scary as the closed Starbucks😱
A few items would be fun, but the mish-mash of characters ranging from the Nightmare on Elm Street to Minions to the Addams Family to the Washington Commanders (yes, the football team—although they do need to come back to life …) is just tacky.
It was one of those weeks with back-to-back work events in different cities. I led programming for our new associates in Chicago, and then headed to Boston for a client meeting and small conference put on by my firm. I sacrificed workout time for early flights, but kept up my Peloton streak with a few airport walks. 
Does anyone still print out paper tickets?
My week started with my usual routine at home, including two runs with Scooby.
Sunday: 6.25 Scooby Miles
It was brisk, but still short sleeves + shorts weather.
Tuesday: 4.67 Scooby Miles before heading to the airport
Back to long sleeves, but still in shorts.
I only had one morning in Chicago, but luckily the weather cooperated for a run. I headed out @ 6:00 am, and it was dark for more than 1/2 of my 5.75 mile run.
It was overcast, so no pretty sunrise.
The Lakefront Trail is so well-lit, I didn’t really need my headlamp,
but I did need my headband to keep my ears warm!
I had one morning in Boston and it was dark for my entire 5.5 mile run. I ran down Commonwealth Avenue and along the outside of the Public Garden and Boston Common, and then headed back along the river.
It was a pretty morning even though I don’t have many photos to prove it!
I did not keep up with the Coretober workouts. Yes, I probably could have spared 10 min before heading to the airport at 5 am on Wednesday and at 6 am on Saturday, but it would have just stressed me out. I’ll catch up with a few I missed and probably will sub some of last week’s 10 min classes for a few of next week’s 20 min classes. 😉
My baby toe is still bothering me a bit, but it’s getting better. I did wear “normal” shoes this week, so that’s progress!
A huge thank you to Deborah and Kim for hosting the Weekly Run Down link up.
