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 February “Runfessions,” too! Runfessions are running truths or “where runners bare their souls and soles.”
I runfess… I’ve been loving the mild winter temps especially last weekend. For maybe the first time ever, I set out to run 15 or so miles with the Lululemon Freezing 50 and I wound up doing two extra segments for 19 miles. Who dis?
I runfess… I’m getting excited for the NYC Half. I’m running again with the Alexandra’s Playground team. This is my ninth year in a row. Alexandra’s Playground builds playgrounds for people in underserved communities in the US and abroad. They also do education programs on safe play and concussions. Everyone deserves a safe place to play. I have to start my fundraising. I kicked it off but here’s the link if you’re interested!
I runfess… I may have gotten a bit trigger happy in signing up for all the races. I signed up for the 50th NYC Marathon with my guaranteed entry, the Milwaukee Half for Jen’s birthday, Gazelle Girl for a girlfriends racecation weekend and then a few in the CARA circuit. I hope I can make it to all of them healthy and with a smile on my face.
I runfess… I loved following my friends from Janji and Aire Libre on their amazing Patagonia runcation trip. It looked so amazing. I want to go next year. Who’s with me?
I runfess… I seem to have stockpiled all the Run Gum in Illinois. OK, that’s an exaggeration, but I have a TON. The winners are Deborah and Montana! I’ll send two lucky readers each 6 packs.
