It seems as though most of August’s Runfessions are brought to you by my senior moments. And lemme tell you, they’ve come fast and furious in August. Not to mention the fact that I had this post mostly written ahead of time and yet somehow failed to realize that it was time for it!

Join me, Marcia @ Marcia’s Healthy Slice and find out what all the bloggers are getting off their chests in August..

Oops! I did it again. One day at the beginning of the month I ran on a really humid day. I was completely soaked by the time I was done. I used a shower wipe, but even though I had brought a dress to change into (I needed to run errands afterwards), I just couldn’t bring myself to try to Houdini my way out of those sweaty clothes.

Which is exactly why I was shopping on a hot day in a long sleeved wrap. I did not stay in those clothes once I got home — couldn’t wait to get out of them, in fact!

I runfess . . .
I totally forgot to apply any anti chafing cream on a humid day but luckily managed to escape chafe free. Chafing is really random for me.

Case in point: on my 9 mile long run I got some mild chafing in an unmentionable area. Wearing the same skirt I’ve basically worn on most of my summer long runs. Random. And uncomfortable.

I have a tendency to zone out. To go on autopilot. It’s truly amazing that I haven’t caused accidents. For instance, there was the time I drove past my own neighborhood because I was lost in my thoughts.

The pool I swim at has three locker rooms: one for women, one for men, and one they call physiotherapy because it has the steam room and sauna. And one day I was walking down the hall, lost in my own thoughts again, and right into the men’s locker room.

There was a naked guy toweling off.

Thankfully, I don’t think he actually saw me.

Despite getting enough sleep most days, I still seem to be having a lot of senior moments. Although this latest incident happened after my a weekend filled with my 10 mile long run and our visit to my parents. It was a couple of days later, but still, it was a stressful, tiring weekend.

Darlene had the day off due to a funeral, unfortunately; but she had time enough to meet up for a run, so we made our plans. I had more miles to run then her, so the plan was for me to get there before her and get in my warmup miles.

Which is exactly what I did. I worried a bit about morning traffic and getting there on time, but I was done a few minutes before we were supposed to meet up. Only . . . she wasn’t there, which is very unusual. As I’m texting her, a text from her comes in . . . she is at the meeting place — I’d read her message and completely missed the fact that she wanted to meet at a different place than we used to meet up at.

So we ran towards each other. Then ran together for about 1 1/2 miles, where I turned around, because I was already at 4 miles & didn’t want to run more than my allotted six or walk forever. I just assumed that she’d catch up to me since she’s so much faster . . . but she never did.

We did meet up at the end to chat a bit.

My suitcase from UT is still sitting on the bedroom floor. It’s unpacked, but one of the Kodiak Muffin Cups exploded in the suitcase (note to self: don’t pack something that can explode all over your clothes in a checked bag). What a mess. I just haven’t gotten around to vacuuming it out yet.

Everybody’s luck runs out sometime . . .

Any amusing senior moments going on in your world?
