November is a big challenge month.  Well in fact it is actually a big month for completing some challenges.  First and foremost the one-year of the ROC (run-one-club) will be completed.  Today Day 339 was completed.  To date EndorphinGirl™ ^™ has run over 339 miles with her stems.  In marathon miles she has completed 12.93893 (339/26.2=12.93893) marathons.  And by November 30^th that will be 13.9313 (339/26.2=13.9313) marathons.  Okay she’ll allow herself on November 30th to say she has run 14 marathons (IN TOTALITY) over the past year.  Okay, okay so maybe it is a bit of a fudged way to take credit for a marathon.  Yeah a slightly different way to approach the ‘marathon’ but ah, so be it!  Oh, by the way bloggees, for any bloggee who is interested in doing the December ROC challenge, stay tuned for more details in the next week or two’s blog. EndorphinGirl™ may ‘sit’ this next Decemer ROC challenge out and be a spectator – tbd!

On another note, the Whole Life Challenge (WLC) is also coming to conclusion this month.  EndorphinGirl™ and her EndorphinSista have done quite a job with it.  They represented Team Duffy, in honor of EndorphinDad.  Frankly, they have trimmed down (thank you daily exercise), become more bendy (thank you daily stretch), scaled back on carbs and other ‘delicious’ crap (thank you daily nutrition plan), become uber hydrated (thank you daily 6+ glasses of 8 ounces of water), positively supplemented their health J (thank you daily relevant supplements, love that omega+) become prolific writers (thank you daily journaling) and met with a new challenge every week (thank you weekly challenge from smile more to mindfulness to get rid of ‘any type’ of clutter, among  some other challenges).  Whew, what a time it has been!  Eight weeks spent very well indeed.  It is day 4 of the final week!  The next challenge is in January 2015 in case bloggees are interested.  Here is the link:  http://www.wholelifechallenge.com/.  EndorphinGirl™ plans (hopes) to keep her schedule from the Whole Life Challenge going, but if she goes off course, she may do another WLC in January too!  EndorphinSista what do you say?

The training has otherwise begun for the January 2015 half marathon.  It is running in parallel with ROCing.  Hehehe.  Really there was no pun intended here, but it is true because the ROCing and marathon training are 'running' in parallel! EndorphinGirl™ is practicing her ‘hill’ running.  Much of the half marathon is on hilly terrain - in Central Park.  Needless to say EndorphinGirl™ has a lot of training to do.  She thinks though besides likely being ‘carried’ by Vita Min, Sera Tonin and Adreena Lin, her EndorphinKids^™ will surely 'carry' her through with their motivating spirit.  This will be both on run day and throughout her training over the next few months.  She is extremely excited to be running this half marathon with them.  Frankly that is the only reason she is running another half marathon – to run with them!  Truth!!

Not too much to report on EndorphinGuy™ this week.  He is sort of trying to figure out how he can catch up with an extracurricula program similar to EndorphinGirl™ and EndorphinKids ™. Stay tuned because no doubt he will figure it out, or perhaps not!  J

Blogging off now.  There is a lovely EndorphinGirl™ picture to post this evening of EndorphinGirl™ prodigy, but the scanner is not working so stay tuned for that image post in the next day or two.

Meanwhile, guest comments always welcome in guest book and keep on endorphin.
