It’s Friday, so I’m linking up for the new Fit Friday Five. I’m doubling down and linking up with Marcia for “Runfessions,” too! Runfessions are running truths or “where runners bare their souls and soles.” It’s 1 week until the NYC Marathon (my 21st!). It’s almost GO time again!
I runfess… I’m not that nervous to run a marathon four weeks after completing Chicago. In 2019, I was nervous about the double, but I did just fine. This year, I more or less set Chicago as a long training run for NYC and did better than I expected with the heat. Given that I’ve run 600+ days in a row, I probably should be nervous.
I runfess… I’m REALLY excited to go to New York. I haven’t been there since the NYC Marathon in 2019. That’s just bananas!
I runfess… I can’t wait for Runstreet’s shakeout run. Lauren and Nicole are joining me again this year and I haven’t seen them for 2 years! I’ve also been missing Marnie and her crew and the amazing street art in NY. Want to join us? Sign up here.
I runfess… I missed doing my course talk at Edge Lounge this year. I love sharing my tips and tricks for the NYC Marathon. Want to see my tips? Check out my post on Runstreet’s blog from 2019.
I runfess… I’m geeking out a bit that it’s the 50th NYC Marathon and I’m about to turn 50. I’m going to buy some official gear. I need T-shirts or sweatshirts like I need a hole in the head, but can you blame me?
Will you be cheering at the NYC marathon? Let me know where you’ll be and I’ll look out for you!
Do you have any Runfessions? 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!
PS. Don’t miss my great giveaways!
