It’s Friday, so I’m linking up for the new Fit Friday Five. I’m doubling down and linking up with Marcia for March “Runfessions,” too! Runfessions are running truths or “where runners bare their souls and soles.” My fingers are crossed that this is my last “pandemic” runfession. I’m not under the impression that the pandemic is over or will be over next month, but regular running life is coming back. Unless something changes, this will be my final set of pandemic runfessions.
I runfess… I’m very excited! I got an email this week confirming my place in the NYC Marathon! They’re planning for a 33,000 person race on November 7. I’m excited to see my NYC friends and family and to run in NYC again. Speaking of marathons, we’re still waiting for confirmation on the field size for Chicago. I’m also waiting to hear whether or not the WANDA age group championship will be happening at the London Marathon and if I’m in. If I am, I’ll have to decide whether to do all three or just London and NYC.
I runfess… I’m still on my running streak. I’m up to 463 days today and have averaged over 6.5 miles per day. I think I’m going to go for 500 days of similar mileage and then scale it back for a month or two to give my legs a break.
I runfess… I’m excited to take Deborah on my Tower to Tower Bucket List 10K tour this Saturday. She’ll be in town from VA visiting her daughter. I updated the route and took the other Chicago guides and a friend. We had a great run and found even more cool facts, sights and Insta-worthy photo stops.
I runfess… Don’t shoot me, but I was delighted when our 50 degree weather returned for a couple of days. I know people love summer here in Chicago, but I’m not built for heat. My first few 70+, humid AF runs were miserable slogs per usual. At least this year, I was with friends.
I runfess… I have a huge surplus of Run Gum since I haven’t been racing much or traveling. Leave a comment and I’ll select a commenter at random on Friday, June 4 and will send a Run Gum Variety Box (or 12 pack of Cinnamon) to a lucky winner! (US addresses only!)
Do you have any Runfessions to share? Please leave them in the comments.
I’m linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday. Join us!
Have a great weekend!
