Halloween has come and went.
And, you probably feel like this right now…
But thats okay, because day light savings time gave us an extra hour of sleep… So now we are well rested and ready to take on November!
November is here, and I am excited. It is probably my favorite months.Â
These are my top 3 reasons why I heart November and my November goals…
1.   I love November because it is so damn colorful!
On the first day of November, my husband and I left the city to spend some time in the country. The fun thing about living in the DC area is that you only have to drive 90 minutes out and you hit beautiful country roads. Virginia is also very historical! Lots of history are among these country roads.
2. Â Another reason, I love November is because it is so damn tasty.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. And this November I will be doing lots of cooking. I want to come up with some fabulous new additions to our traditional Thanksgiving. So be prepared for lots of food posts.
3. Â And the final reason, I love November is because it is the perfect month to run.Â
I wake up every morning with a strong desire to hit the trail. There is only a short time that the leaves are this colorful and I don’t want to miss it. Plus, soon it will be really cold and I’ll have to pull out my winter running gear. So these are the last weeks where the weather will be perfect for running. Also, I must run, to counter act all of the cooking, food testing, eating, tasting I will be doing in order to find the prefect Thanksgiving addition. So I will be participating in Pile on the Miles. (More on that later.)
Also CONGRATS to everyone who ran the NYC Marathon! You guys rocked it out!
What is your favorite thing about November? What dishes are you eating this Thanksgiving? Are you going to pile on the miles?

Scott Jurek (one of my favorite runners of all time) is running Boston this morning. I got this photo taken by John Segesta, off of Jurek’s fb page. But I had to share it with you because it is so inspiring.
