It’s the last Friday of the month, so it’s time to join Marcia for “Runfessions!” Runfessions are running truths or “where runners bare their souls and soles.” April was a month of rest and relaxation and fun running for me for the first time in a long time. I really needed it! Hard to believe it’s almost May!
I runfess… I didn’t have FOMO watching Boston but I do wish I was going to London this weekend. I would even like to spectate. I love London and the vibes at that race are so much fun! Did you have Boston FOMO this year?
I runfess… (apologies – rant incoming) It truly blows my mind that influencers who have run Boston multiple times decide to run with serious injuries and then post all about it. I think it sets a bad example and it puts their future running in jeopardy. It’s tough to pass up Boston if you may not qualify again or if it’s your first time, but some of these 7 – 10 time runners doing this for show… I don’t really get it. Just me?
I runfess… I had my first two running tours of the year – on the same day! I had two 10K bucket list tours downtown booked on a Wednesday and Thursday. Then the weather was terrible on Wednesday so I wound up doing that tour on Thursday afternoon. So, 10K+ at 7:00 AM and 10K+ at 4:00 PM. Both people were lovely and it was a really good day.
I runfess… I decided to do a 5K on the 27th. I run in a racing circuit and skipped two races that I normally run. I would have gotten 2nd or 3rd in my age group running the pace I ran at Shamrock and I feel like I could go a bit faster with the rest. Also, some of my competitors did Boston on Monday so it’s likely to be pretty non-competitive.
I runfess… I had the best time doing a show launch (more on that soon) with Peace Runners. They have weekly runs in Garfield Park that start with dancing and fun warm ups, include a mile one cheer stop and music and cheering for every running. I smiled for the whole weekend after this run. I also met a lot of cool people. 10/10 recommend.
Do you have any Runfessions? Please leave them in the comments.
