Given that the last Friday of the month falls on the day after Christmas, Marcia decided to do her monthly “runfessions” today – and once again, I’m in.
Runfession #1 — I’m very excited that the lottery gods smiled on me and I’m in for the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler! After playing around with lots of race possibilities for 2015, there’s something about having this one firmly on the calendar that makes me finally ready to pull the trigger on some others.
Runfession #2 — I have so been enjoying running without a watch that I’m actually starting to wonder how I’m going to get use to it again once training starts.
Runfession #3 — I really miss my running buddy E, and it looks like her prognosis to return to running is not looking good. While weekend runs with my husband have been fun, there’s nothing like catching up with a girlfriend while logging the miles.
Runfession #4 — Working with the trainer has shown me in no uncertain terms just how little attention I’ve been paying to strengthening my hamstrings and glutes. It was no secret to me that I’m quad dominant, but these workouts have been a leg-shaking eye-opening experience!
Runfession #5 — I’ve been invited to another event at Athleta tonight – oh be still my heart! Is it wrong to offer to my husband to buy my own Christmas presents 😉
There….I feel better now! Do you have any runfessions to share?
Yay for Cherry Blossom! I love 10 milers, but they’re so rare around here. Sorry about E. I hope things turn around for her. So jelly of your Athleta events! They just opened another Chicago area store but it’s still a good 45 minutes away. There’s a mall very close by just begging for one! Ok that’s me begging for one. Thanks for runfessing!

Ha, ha–there seems to be a theme with Athleta and our own Christmas presents right now (Marcia, me, you). Darn them!
I’m so excited you got into CB! All of my friends and I made it, too. Now you and I need to make our plans to meet up!

#5 That is a good thing in my world, I am horrible at buying for others, I try but I am just not good at it and would prefer that when they open the gifts that they get things that they want/need.
#2 Put a piece of duct tape over the crystal and turn off the alarms, that way you still have the data after you are done, but don’t worry about it during the run. 🙂
Have a Merry Christmas

I like that duct tape trick! Have a great Christmas Harold 🙂
Congrats on #1! That’s great! Could you speak to those lottery gods and ask that I get into MCM in March?

I am getting me a personal trainer this new year and I am scared to hear………. What he/she will tell me —- that I am pathetic! LOL!

Working with a trainer has definitely been eye-opening for sure! Good luck!
I’m so sad I didn’t get into CB for the first time in 6 years. I am going to try to get a bib during the transfer. I have to find another 10 miler to do I like that distance.
