Getting in my hikes before Winter: Runfessions October 2021
I know plenty of people hike year round, but I have enough trouble getting myself outside to run during Winter. Sure, those frozen waterfall photos are cool -- but so are the temps. Well, they're downright freezing! So I've been making a real effort to get in more hikes before the snow flies. Of course … Continue reading Getting in my hikes before Winter: Runfessions October 2021

The Laundry Battle is Real: Runfessions August 2021
Every time I write about my V02 Max, someone is sure to say the Garmin's version of that isn't very accurate, and I'm sure that's true. Keeping track of it, though, actually does give me clues to how I might want to adjust my running -- that's why I continue to look at it … Continue reading The Laundry Battle is Real: Runfessions August 2021

Long Hair Runfessions July 2021
Okay, there's only one runfession that has to do with long hair, and none that involve my Garmin!

Morning Runfessions June 2021
Three months in and I still have runfessions about my Garmin! I'm also coming clean about those early morning runs and my desperate need for a haircut.
