Joining up with Marcia, from Marcia’s Healthy Slice, for her monthly “runfessions” – a chance to cleanse your sweaty soul.
Runfession #1 — I was suppose to be getting on a plane tomorrow to head to the Philly half. Every time I get an email update from the race I must admit it stings just a little.
Runfession #2 — I’m not running much at all. I’m finding it hard to hit some those pre-dawn runs in the bitter cold when I’m not training for something.
Runfession #3 — I have been hitting the cross-training more and more…cause frankly I’m hard to live with if I don’t workout! Just ask my husband…
Runfession #4 — I am starting to plan a race schedule for 2015 that I’getting excited about. Now I either need to hit lotto or find a sponsor to cover the race fees 😉
Runfession #5 — Not at all run-related, but it’s freaking me out a little how quickly these weeks are slipping by. My youngest son keeps announcing the weekly countdown till Christmas and I haven’t even started planing yet. (Just under 5 weeks in case you were wondering!)
There….I feel better now! Do you have any runfessions to share? Have you started planning for the holidays yet?
Ugh, can’t stand the fact that the holidays are upon us already! I think that if you aren’t feeling it for the runs right now, that’s ok. Once you have those races locked up, then you will have the motivation to get out there. In the meantime, enjoy the cross training!

I’m just in denial about the holidays 😉
You know I totally understand the wavering motivation when there’s nothing to train for. I’m in that same boat. My heart hurts for you missing Philly. I well know that feeling. Better days await you!

Thank you Marcia – yes better days to come for sure!
Sometimes we all need a little break from running physically or mentally. You will get back there. Hope you are not too sad about Philly

I think you are right about needing the break – just always hard when it’s not by choice, but I’m learning to embrace it.
Sorry about Philly but at least you don’t have to get out for those cold, dark runs What cardio are you liking? You know I love spinning.

I need to try a spinning class – just riding a trainer gets kind of boring after a while.
Sorry to hear about Philly 🙁 I hope you are enjoying your other cross training activities.

Thanks Jenny – the cross-training has been a good thing.
I’m in denial about the holidays too…it’s crazy! I was thinking of you yesterday during the Philly Marathon. Next year is going to be amazing! I’m working on figuring out my list too!

Thanks for thinking of me 🙂 Next year is going to be great – can’t wait to hear what you’ve got planned!
I feel like I can’t catch up. 😉 And this clutter on my desk is making it worse. That is not run related, but heck I would like to go on a run right now for a nice distraction. Hah!
I so know that feeling! Hopefully things will slow down a little for both of us 🙂
So sorry about Philly, but it’s the right decision. Sometimes a running break is just what you need! I have been loving my breaks…makes me enjoy the run that much more!
