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 the first Runfessions of the year so it’s going to be good!
I runfess… I’m proud to say that I’m still on my run streak! Today is 709 days. I missed commemorating 700. Oops. I’m still not sure how long I’ll go but I’m hoping for 2 years at least. That will be on 2/20/22.
I runfess… I’m super excited and a little nervous to be headed to Flex and Flow’s “The Getaway” trail running and yoga camp this weekend in Malibu, CA. I looked up the routes and there are some legit elevations. Plus, we’re camping out! Should be interesting. I’m excited to see the Flex & Flow gang and Lauren is joining me from NYC.
I runfess… I had a blast running in the snow and having a mid run snowball fight with Heather and Maria last week. It’s definitely key to have the right gear. I was testing these amazing Trailheads mittens. They were clutch for the cold and snowball making. They also have zippers to let your fingers out to use the phone/camera. [These are great for the frigid days or if you get really cold hands.] I also wore some new tech pants from Arc’teryx to block the strong winds. Loved them!
I runfess… I ran at the gym (masked up) on the treadmill on Tuesday and Wednesday. The temps were <10 with strong winds. Sorry. Not sorry. After toughing it out every days last year and most of 2020, I wimped out. I do prefer winter over summer but I was concerned about ice and frostbite.
I runfess… I hired a run coach! After many years of winging it, I decided to see if a run coach would help me to meet some of the goals I have for my new age group. I’m working with Kiersten (a/k/a Coach K). My friend, Bobbi, who’s a kick ass runner in my age group has been working with Coach K for a few years. I chatted with her about my goals and approach and we decided to work together for 6 months to see how it goes. I’m excited!
Do you have any 2022 goals to runfess or any other 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!
