Hello Friday! This week flew by in a blink…the beauty of having a 4-day workweek. It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday, and, since it’s the last Friday of the month, I’m linking up with Marcia to share some Runfessions.
Runfessions for February
Weather Chaser
Well, of course, I have some weather-related runfessions. Mother Nature has zigged and zagged all month, refusing to stay in one lane. We’ve had everything from a blizzard, to an ice storm, to temps in the 50s and even 60s! I runfess that I have been juggling my run schedule as much as possible to chase the mild weather, swapping not only which days I run, but the time of day as well – basically, doing what I can to keep my mill runs to a minimum.
After enjoying this last taste of spring this week, I runfess that I’m just so over wearing all the layers!
Midday Escape
While I am usually in the “get up early and get it done” camp, I runfess that thanks to my weather chasing, I have really come to enjoy my recent stint of lunchtime running. A “runch” has been a great escape from too much screen time. With things getting busier at the new job and the upcoming shift to a hybrid work schedule, I know my runch days are numbered, but it’s been fun while it lasted.
Running Bra Woes
I recently received some great new gear from Brooks as part of the Run Happy Team welcome kit, including a Dare Crossback Sports Bra. I love the new bra but I runfess it also made me realize that I cannot remember the last time I bought a new running bra – seriously, it’s been quite a while. I’ve got some shopping to do!
Any runfessions to share?

Right there with you on the weather woes! I woke up this morning to more snow and yep, I’m trying to decide where to take my running shoes. It won’t be the mill, but for sure, I am ready for spring.
I do love that Crossback bra!
Oh yes, weather chasing at its best! I got in several runches while in Florida, and they were such a nice break from my usual daily routine. We got several inches of snow late yesterday & I’m pretty sure there’s questionable road conditions as a result…so Milly is going to see some action shortly ((ugh!!).
I runfess our overnight snow will relegate me to the mill today. It is what it is. I also runfess I have some sports bras in rotation that I acquired during the Obama administration. Ugh.
LOL on the running bras. I stocked up at the start of the pandemic (on-line shopping of course), but some are looking tired already!
I just can’t runch. It’s so hard to pull away from work, and then it’s even harder to get back to it!
I’ll bet this lunchtime runs help run off any work related tension!
One of the many things I don’t like about winter running is I feel as though I’m swaddled like a baby!

Ha ha… i like the support bras. Glad you’re able to “runch” these days! So I guess you’re working from home right now but soon will be in the office some days? Maybe it will work out perfectly and coincide with the nicer spring weather!

I will really miss runches when we go back to the office. It is the best part of the day… even if it is cold out.
no ide when wfh will end.. I know definitely at the end of May we will no longer train remotely and in July travel to NYC starts up.
it was fun while it lasted.
I need to have a good supportive bra for running. Hello DD’s. I have lots of recs if you need any. I do replace them every year too bc they have a lot of heavy lifting to do! LOL
We’ve had crazy swings here, too and SO much wind. I’ve done a fair share of juggling, too!
I runfess that I went on a wild bra shopping spree last year as I was sick and tired of having to wash the ones I had so often! But it was long overdue so it was a worthwhile spree!
I am over this weather too. I think one day it was in the 50s and then freezing the next day. And more snow today. Luckily it wasn’t too much but I don’t want to see it anymore. It has been YEARS since I bought bras. The ones I have are from Victoria’s Secret and they do not sell that same style. I have tried a few of the ones from Brooks but had to send them back.
I find it so hard to find a good sports bra. I guess that’s why mine are all old..
I love that you can have lunchtime runs. It’s just too hot here, even on the colder days. What a way to break up your day!
