I runfess . . .I originally was thinking about another 5k in in May. Then it got suddenly hot (and the day the race was run would potentially have thunderstorms as a cold front was supposed to come through). Then COVID started surging again, and I decided it just wasn't a race I wanted to … Continue reading Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022

My Race Story in Photos: Tea/coffee Date May 2022
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing a little differently this month: mostly in photos. When I saw my (free) race photos (read the real recap here), I saw that they actually tell a story!

Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022
I runfess . . .This actually happened in March, I think, but then I never wrote about it. I didn't tighten the top on my water bottle completely, and when I got to where I ran, about a quarter of it had leaked out. I was grateful it hadn't all leaked out or gotten me … Continue reading Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022

Trying to Warm Up: Runfessions March 2022
Alternate Title: Running without a Bra I runfess . . .If you do Peloton cycling, have you ever noticed the ratio of cool down rides to warm up rides? At least 3 to 1, if not more.

Enough with Savannah!: Runfessions February 2022
I slowly and cautiously started to rebuild my mileage in February. Definitely nothing crazy; there's no rush. I think I'll be ending February with 10 or so more miles than January, which isn't horrible considering February is a short month. Yet there's always runfessions to be shared. I runfess . . .Not too long ago … Continue reading Enough with Savannah!: Runfessions February 2022

What I like About My Treadmill: Runfessions January 2022
I am running even less in January (my first point below), but I'm always able to come up with some runfessions. Especially when they're bolstered by hiking gaffes and senior moments. The treadmill does figure prominently this month, but so do those ever present senior moments! I runfess . . .My running was off to … Continue reading What I like About My Treadmill: Runfessions January 2022
