The breakneck pace of 2023 continues and here we are approaching the end of April. Since it’s the last Friday of the month for this week’s Fit Five Friday, I’m linking up with Marcia to share a couple of Runfessions. So let’s dive in!
April Runfessions
I runfess that despite my best efforts to hold to a set workout schedule, many weeks I find myself juggling my workouts to fit things in where I can. I keep hoping for a light at the end of my hectic work schedule tunnel …but MAYhem is just around the corner.
While I’m beyond happy to be running relatively pain-free and overall running has, dare I say felt good, I runfess that I feeling a little meh about running in general. I’m feeling the need to shake things up a bit but haven’t quite landed on the “what” yet.
I runfess that I recently did this…
I’ve applied before to the London lottery with no luck so I’m not at all expecting to get in – but just the thought did spark a little excitement. You never know 🙂
Do you feel like April flew by? Do you ever get bored with your running?

Ooooh! Good luck, Michelle! I hope you get an entry!
Thanks Wendy 🙂
Good luck with London! If it sparks joy . . .
Hopefully as weather gets nicer you’ll feel more joy in running again.
I’m sure some consistency in Spring weather would help my running mood. I have a feeling we’re going to jump right to summer.
Awwwww I love that you entered the lottery! You never know, stranger things have happened. I hope it is meant to be!
Thanks Marcia – a little voice said why not so I threw my hat in the ring…we’ll see…
Wow, London would be such an amazing adventure1
I think it’s great that you even try to rearrange your workout schedule and fit something in instead of just skipping it altogether.
I get cranky if I skip workouts lol so I do everything I can to juggle 🙂
I know the feeling. It’s hard to work and run and fit in family and friends.
That’s exciting. I hope you get into London.
There are so many days where there just doesn’t feel like there’s enough time – especially when I have to commute.
Wow good luck with London!~. I did not know you wanted to run a full marathon. great place to do it!
I ran Chicago in 2019 and had hoped to do another marathon the following year…but Covid. I’ve always thought London would be a fun one!
Michelle, you never know! It’s fun just to be in the lottery (I feel like that every time I buy a Lotto ticket- I COULD be a billionaire tomorrow!) So you never know… you COULD be running the London marathon next year! That would definitely add a spark to your running.

It definitely would be a spark! Like you said, you never know 🙂
Ooh London!!!!! How exciting!!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂
Thanks Kim – I’ll take those good vibes!
I entered the London lottery, too! I hope we both get in! I had so much FOMO b/c it looked like a ton of fun.
Re: running burnout… maybe do less running and more cross training for a while?? Until you feel up for it?
London does look like fun, doesn’t it?! Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!
I’ve got a 10K coming up in a couple of weeks, but I could swap in more cross training after that.
This year is soaring! I can’t stand it!
Fingers crossed for London!
