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 selfiefess: Just when I’d given up all hope of ever seeing it again, I found my little foldable phone stand that I thought I’d lost during last summer’s road trip. When I got my hiking backpack out it was in there! I’ve used the backpack several times since last summer, but I guess I’d never looked in that pocket.

 

I runfess/bikefess: I don’t wear underwear under running shorts with built-in underwear, but have discovered that some of my friends do. I thought the whole purpose of built-in underwear was for increased wicking away of sweat (and underwear, especially cotton would defeat the purpose). Same with wearing underwear under bike shorts, if you wear underwear, where would you put the chamois cream, between the chamois and the underwear LOL, between the underwear and your body? Things that make you go, “Hmmm…”

 

I bikefess: Speaking of chamois cream and bike shorts, I got an email from Amazon that my order would be arriving the next day. What embarrassing item had I ordered that couldn’t be disclosed? Barrier Balm, another item for anti-chafing for cyclists and endurance athletes.

 

I walkfess/bikefess: I’ve recently had to do a few hard resets on my Garmin and now the alligator clip on the charging cable is slowly breaking. I’m secretly hoping it will just break so I can get a new one, but I’m also hoping it will last because I don’t want to have to choose which one to buy. I have a fancy bike Garmin so I don’t want to spend a lot of money on the watch replacement. I would love to find one that tracks my walks, runs, strength training, and indoor bike rides, but isn’t crazy expensive.

 

I runfess: I recently had a treadmill stress test as part of my winter health issues mess and got stressed out, not because I was concerned about my health, but because I wanted to perform well. LOL And by the way, all was well just as the doctor and I suspected.

 

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

  • Questions:
  • • Do you wear underwear under padded bike shorts or shorts with built-in underwear?
  • • Do you have a suggestion for a Garmin that tracks walks, runs, strength training, and indoor bike rides that isn’t crazy expensive?
  • • What are your runfessions?

 

Today I’m linking up with Marcia at Marcia’s Healthy Slice for her monthly Runfessions linkup.  Be sure to check out her blog and those of the other great bloggers linking up.
