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.” July was another busy month for me and it flew by with a lot to runfess.
I runfess… Despite having a strong run at Grandma’s in June marathon training for Chicago and NYC seems daunting. I dialed back my mileage and have been doing 45 minute runs most days with a few longer weekend runs. Now, 10 miles seems long again. Oh well!
I runfess… I’ve been enjoying running 30 – 45 minutes per day casually on our trip. We’re about 90 minutes north of Barcelona in the Llagostera near the Costa Brava region in Spain. We’re in a villa that has a bunch of dirt trails/farm roads with lots of bikers and walkers. I can run into the town and to the highest point in just over 20 minutes. It’s been fun exploring and running easy. Do you like to run on vacation or to take a break?
I runfess… I was grateful for a mild July in Chicago. I didn’t do super long runs but it seemed less dreadful than last year! I also got lucky with the temps in this region of Span this week. The heat wave broke just before we arrived. What’s the summer been like where you are?
I runfess… I’m still on my run streak (today is day 891). I won’t lie… running on Saturday after flying overnight to Barcelona was not easy. I managed 2 miles of running after 2 miles of walking, I’m going for 1000 days – arbitrary, I know! We’ll see what happens next week in Madrid and Barcelona when the temps are going to be hotter. I’ll plan to go early and just do a few miles but we’ll see!
I runfess… I’m super excited to do a 10K run tour in Madrid with our Go! Running Tours guide Phillip. I loved my tours in Rome and Greece and I know this will not disappoint. Stay tuned for photos and videos!
Do you have any runfessions? Please leave them in the comments.
