It’s Friday, so I’m linking up with Fairytales and Fitness for Friday Five. I’m doubling down and linking up with Marcia for December “Runfessions,” too! Runfessions are running truths or “where runners bare their souls and soles.”
As the decade ends, I runfess… I’m enjoying my running more than ever. As I’ve focused less on my finishing time and more on enjoying the ride, I found my love of running again. It shows. I had over 50 photos from the Chicago Marathon and NYC Marathon from Marathon Foto and I’m smiling in all of them. No joke!
I runfess… I thought running three marathons in three months was a crazy idea, but I feel great. So great in fact that I’m considering going for the trifecta again! We’ll see what 2020 brings.
I runfess… it’s nice having a break from 20 mile runs and marathon training. I’m planning to do some speed work to see if I can break 1:42 in the NYC Half to get guaranteed entry for 2021 based on age and gender. I missed it by only 17 seconds this year but I got in through the lottery. Woot!
I runfess… I’m back to “never say never” again. This year, I ran Chicago Marathon after saying I never would again [and it was a blast!] In 2020, I’ll be doing Hood to Coast relay again after retiring from that. Ken’s enthusiasm is so contagious I decided to go for it. Plus, The Husband may volunteer to be our van driver.
I runfess… I may take the plunge into a new running venture as a side hustle next year. I’m keeping it quiet until I review the details and sign on the dotted line, but you’ll be the “first” to know.
Bonus runfession... I runfess… I do have more than one running outfit, but that Janji top is so comfy and easy to spot that I wore it in all the races!
Do you have any Runfessions to close out the decade? Please leave them in the comments.
Have a great weekend!
