~ Runfessions ~
A collection of statements admitting
that one is guilty of a variety of running crimes…

 

It’s time again to join in on the fun and clear my conscience of recent running, biking, fitness, nutrition, and life in general faux pas. I know I’ll feel better when I’m done, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll give you a laugh or two in the process!

 

I runfess: It has been seventeen months since my last runfession. I had every intention of joining the linkup last month, but got distracted and never finished writing it. I did; however, take this picture during our one and only snow of the winter in preparation of today’s runfessions.

 

I runfess: Speaking of the weather, it climbed to 80° here yesterday, and yet the weather forecast calls for a wintery mix tomorrow. So what’s my runfession? I runfess that I took full advantage of the warm winter weather by rescheduling my clients to early morning so my husband and I could get out for a bike ride. I can run in most any weather, but I’m a wimp when it comes to cycling in the cold.

 

I runfess: As friends start to finalize plans for running the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler, I can’t help but remember the time I ran with a blade of grass stuck in my shorts…

Note: Skip this paragraph if you’re offended by TMI… Back in 2001, at some point early on in the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler while heading up Rock Creek Park I had to pee very badly and of course there wasn’t a porta potty in sight. Eventually, I had no choice but to pull over behind some trees and tall grass and do my business while my running buddy Miles waited. Shortly afterward I told Miles that I must have a UTI because things felt very irritated and I had to go to the bathroom again, and soon! Luckily, we came upon a porta potty so I stopped again. Low and behold, there was a long blade of grass stuck in just the wrong place and as soon as I removed it, the sensations of a UTI were gone.

 

I runfess: Foam rolling in padded biking shorts doesn’t work well when trying to target the Glutes. 🤣

 

I runfess: I have been really bad about hydrating properly the last few weeks and I don’t know why. I normally drink water like a boss, but I’ve been totally off my game.

 

There you have it, my most recent runfessions; and you can bet that it feels good to get another set off of my chest! See you next month in the runfessional.

 

  • Questions:
  • • Have you ever caused any self inflicted pain while running?
  • • Do you hydrate properly?
  • • What are your runfessions?
