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.” May was another month of rest and relaxation and fun running for me with a few (slow) races sprinkled in. I’m still recuperating. Hard to believe it’s almost June!
I runfess… I have been really enjoying the cool weather in May – especially for running. (Sorry to the warm weather fans!) I am getting ready for summer. If you missed my warm weather running must haves – find them here. I’m especially enjoying the RIPT-Lite sweat-proof ear buds from H20 Audio. They don’t slip and the battery life is excellent.
I runfess… I’m still not feeling great with my running and nearly made the decision to skip the Chicago 13.1 this weekend. It was nice and cool last weekend and I had a few good runs and my friend Cindy (who runs a similar pace to me) is running, so I’m going to run. It’s always a fun time and it has great crowd support so I’m hoping for the best.
I runfess… I’m excited for our Saturday shakeout run at Arc’teryx with Gold Coast Run Club and Old Town Run Club. We have some fun goodies for the runners and there are always good vibes.
I runfess… I ran a 5K and a 10K trail race this month – both were pretty slow for me. And strangely, I took no photos. I ran because I missed the first two races in the local running circuit so I knew I’d place OK and get points. Ironically, I had a really slow time (for me) in the 10K but got second place in my AG anyway. I was so discouraged that I didn’t look until I got home.
I runfess… I’m excited to be a SaltStick ambassador (a/k/a a member of the Sweater Crew) again this year. I just got a welcome kit with the new caffeinated fast chews. I’m excited to try these out with my summer training. Maybe I won’t be jonesing for coffee after my races as much – probably not. LOL. Want to try Fast Chews?
