~ 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 forgetfess: I thought of a great runfession this past week, but wasn’t where I could jot it down on paper or my phone. I do remember that I was doing my bedtime stretching when the idea popped into my head, but then I started daydreaming and promptly forget what it was by the time I finished. This has happened to Kim and me many times while we’re chatting during a workout and one of will say, “That’s a great runfession.” And of course by the time we finish our workout, we’ve both often forgotten the runfession.

 

I bikefess: I recently figured out that even though my Garmin watch doesn’t have an “indoor bike” mode, I can still use the watch for my spins in “bike” mode and edit the Garmin app after saving the ride. It wasn’t until after Kim mentioned that’s how she does her indoor rides (although her Garmin does have “indoor bike” mode) that I decided to see if my Garmin would do the same. Low and behold, it worked!

 

I bikefess: Because I wasn’t using my watch for indoor rides yet, Garmin didn’t award me the badge for this January Weekend 40K ride so I took a screen shot and awarded it to myself (in blog form only LOL). And then while in the hospital, Kim texted to remind me that a badge was up for grabs for the February weekend 40K ride. I was bummed because I had planned to see if using my Garmin on “indoor ride” would allow me to earn it. Since then I’ve confirmed that indeed Garmin now recognizes my indoor spins as legit.

 

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

 

  • Questions:
  • • Do you think of a great idea only to forget it later if you don’t write it down?
  • • Do you use all of the features on your fitness devices? ~ not even close
  • • What are your runfessions?
