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.” May was another busy month for me and it flew by with a lot to runfess.
I runfess… I am sad to miss the Mountains2Beach Marathon this year. You may remember from last month’s runfessions, that I deferred my entry after they moved the date to June 5 from May 29. I was worried about the weather and a bunch of my friends couldn’t make the new date. Ironically, weather.com predicts cooler weather next week. I’m excited to “see” my friend Emily break 3 hours in her first post-baby marathon.
I runfess… I’m still on my run streak (today is day 828). I’ve been feeling good and have been enjoying my runs lately. I’m excited for the extra few weeks to train for Grandma’s Marathon on June 18. Still trying to decide whether to keep or finish the streak – now I’m thinking maybe 1000 days – arbitrary, I know!
I runfess… I broke my days without a fall running streak. If you’ve been around here, you know I have had some epic falls and scrapes while running. Two weekends ago, I tripped at mile 10 of a 20 miler. I scraped my shoulder and knees and jammed my pinky and ring finger on my right (dominant) hand. Not great! I made it to 20.7 miles and got a haircut before heading home to lick my wounds!
I runfess… I had a blast running with Runstreet, HOKA and Fleet Feet last weekend in the Hoka St(ART) Run and with Arc’teryx in the Dog Jog. It’s fun to do some non-competitive “fun” runs. We also took a ton of fun photos. Check out my Hoka St(Art) Run reel on Instagram.
I runfess… I’ve been having so much fun at my recent races that I keep signing up for more! Since Mountains2Beach moved, I signed up for the new Bank of America Half Marathon on June 5th and a few other things.
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!
