It’s hard to believe that next weekend is Labor Day Weekend. Where did the summer go? They say time flies when you’re having fun, and I have had a lot of fun this summer. No, I haven’t taken a vacation, but things have been pretty good at home. Before I declare summer over, I am going to take one last dip in the pool and come clean with a few runfessions.
Since I’ve got five things to runfess, I’m also linking up with Courtney, Cynthia and Mar for the Friday Five Link Up. Check out both of these great link ups for motivation, support, and camaraderie.
I runfess that I have had to dig deep to get myself out the door for my weekday runs. I’m getting bored with my running routes, I’m over the humid weather, and I have more fun at my favorite fitness classes. I need to get back to running with my MRTT group–that’s always motivating.
I runfess that I hope I just finished my last treadmill workout at the Courtyard Marriott in Downtown Miami for a while. Nothing against this particular hotel gym, but between hearing about how American Airlines is encouraging pilots to fly faster to avoid delays, and how Zika is spreading from Wynwood to South Beach, I’m not anxious to go back to Miami any time soon.
I runfess that I rely on my blog posts to check the age of my running shoes. I really do love Milestone Pods, but I haven’t been using them this year. After my feet hurt towards the end of my long run two weeks in a row, I searched my old posts and confirmed that I’ve been wearing my current Mizunos since March, although I’ve still been using the pair I reviewed in October for Orange Theory Fitness. Note to self: you got these shoes in late August.
I runfess that after reading Carla’s post, I decided to go all in with THINX. My periods have been unpredictable and heavy lately, so I mostly plan to use them as back-up, but I probably will try them on their own on lighter days once they prove themselves. A number of women in my MRTT group swear by them–and even trust them during their long runs.
I runfess that I haven’t signed up for my September race yet–the Reston Perfect Ten. It’s the one race I do that doesn’t sell out, but since it’s only a few weeks away it’s time to commit–and get ready for those hills!
