In November if was wrist pain and a very stiff neck for a long time -- both of those pains resolved. But the niggles never seem to end, do they? Although some days this one is more than a niggle. I runfess . . .It seems I've finally fallen prey to Plantar Fasciitis. I think. … Continue reading Where did THAT come from?: Runfessions December 2023

Where to Stretch: Runfessions November 2023
I know it's been a minute, and I'm just maintaining a very small base, but we've always got something to runfess, #amiright? I runfess . . .I realized I'd been really slacking on my post run stretches, so I've gotten back after it. It really doesn't have to take long at all, but that little … Continue reading Where to Stretch: Runfessions November 2023
They’re Baaack!: Runfessions September 2023
The mosquitoes, that is. I'd stopped burning incense, kept filming videos, and everything seemed fine. Until I got nailed again. I suppose it's better than a couple of feet of snow! I runfess . . .I am so happy I'm not sporting mosquito bites every time I step outside anymore (obviously written right before I … Continue reading They’re Baaack!: Runfessions September 2023
I’ve had my fill: Runfessions August 2023
Of mosquitoes. So why am I so tasty to mosquitoes? This article here made for interesting reading. I'm a heavy sweater -- it seems to be almost the only criteria I really fit. Except that, like many runners, I do enjoy a banana sometimes. I wish there was a way to avoid being bitten without … Continue reading I’ve had my fill: Runfessions August 2023
Striding through Summer: Runfessions July 2023
Whether you love or hate Summer running, it's no secret that this Summer has been tough on runners in my neck of the woods. What can make it easier? How do you know when you're really ready for a harder run? These are what I meant to grab -- they actually do look a lot … Continue reading Striding through Summer: Runfessions July 2023
The heart knows: Runfessions June 2023
It's a mixed bag this month with no real theme. Between a lot of time at my mom's and caring for Bandit, running is sort of on the back burner -- but not banished altogether. The heart may know what it wants, now if it would just speak to me (it's a few talking points … Continue reading The heart knows: Runfessions June 2023
Boo Peloton: Runfessions May 2023
I explain my displeasure with Peloton's new pricing for their app in my last point. Suffice it to say if you want to avail yourself of cardio classes (and you don't already own Peloton equipment), your monthly fee will double: Based on Peloton’s data from its most recent financial quarter, more than half of all … Continue reading Boo Peloton: Runfessions May 2023
Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023
I had to deal with a slight setback to running in April. I am not training for anything, but I just want to keep my running base. Is that really too much to ask? I runfess . . .I was thinking about running my first race of 2023 last weekend. It's a race I did … Continue reading Cycling not in a good way: Runfessions April 2023
The Running Gods Laugh: Runfessions March 2023
I sat down to write this post on Monday, and nothing was coming. I've got nothing, I thought. Running may be short & sweet (and slow) but it's going fairly well. Never tempt the Running Gods . . . but first can we talk car alarms? I runfess . . .I did something this week … Continue reading The Running Gods Laugh: Runfessions March 2023
Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022
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
