Overall, I'm not happy with the average statistics for this month. None of them make me proud. But, I ran consistently, I stayed healthy, and had no injuries.
Oh yeah, I also won a 5K race! I am proud of that one singular run. Damn, it felt good to be in the lead, maintain the lead, and win the freaking race! Just a 5K, but that's cool with me. I've been working on speed, rather than endurance, so it's nice to feel that solidify. My finish time was only 20:55 (not my best, but good for a 55-year old). Can't believe that it won the whole race. Age group? Sure. Overall win? Surprising. But, you can only compete against those in front of you. I beat everyone that showed up. Will it happen again? Not likely! But I'll still compete for my age group. Here are my stats for October:

| Total Activity Time | 14:24 h:m | 14:07 h:m |
| Avg Time | 45:30 m:s | 40:21 m:s |
| Total Elev Gain | 2,910 ft | 2,490 ft |
| Average Pace | 9:20 min/mi | 9:53 min/mi |
| Average Heart Rate | 139 bpm | 138 bpm |
| Average Run Cadence | 160 spm | 157 spm |
Not my best month. Except for the 5K race win! I don't have any planned races for the rest of this year. Plan on keeping some speed, but also working more on endurance. Had one of my worst 13 mile trail runs on the Kickapoo Rail Trail last weekend. It felt horrible to struggle on such a "short" long run. That will change in November and December.
