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.” June was cooler than normal until it was hotter than normal which was pretty nice while it lasted!
I runfess… I’m trying to be zen about the heat and just have a “live and let live” attitude. But, I’m failing half the time. I was proud of myself on Sunday at the Arc’teryx Pride Run where we jogged our 5K in the shade and then hung out in the AC and did not complain. That’s a win!
I runfess… I was glad to have run the Chicago 13.1. If you read last month’s runfessions, you know I was on the fence. I ran most of the race with Cindy and truly enjoyed the run. I love the race vibes and it was not as hot as last year. My only goals were to have fun and feel good and I achieved both. I know I won’t always be able to run a sub-2 hour “for fun” and I felt a lot of gratitude for my body and my health. Check out my reel here.
I runfess… I have never tried Adidas running shoes in all these years. Hard to believe – right? I learned that white sneakers are back, so I went to grab a pair of white Ultraboost 5X sneakers. It turned out that the white/off white and orange were a better price, so I went for those in the end. You know I love a deal! I got some cute white kicks for non-running summer fun. Are you up on this trend?
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?

I runfess… I’ve been enjoying having more run tours this month. I did three 10K Bucket List tours and a 5K fun run tour for a conference. Chicago has so many iconic sights. It’s so much fun to show them off. Today, I had my first guests enjoy the water feature at Crown Fountain in Millennium Park!
Do you have any Runfessions? Please leave them in the comments.
