runfessions: black friday edition

November 27, 2020      7 Comments

It’s Black Friday, and we are here again to runfess and lay it all out there.

Let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice for a shop-til-you-drop edition of Runfessions!

I runfess…

That I’ve never been into Black Friday. I usually don’t shop very often, and the idea of chasing after random sales with thousands of other people just doesn’t feel like my jam. Now, I do admit that it sounds like it could be fun to be out all night after Thanksgiving, and wrapping up with a big breakfast, but obviously this is not the year to try. I’ll be sticking to online shopping for the next week.

I runfess…

That even with that admission, I’ve been shopping quite a bit this week. Now that most of our furniture is here, I’m going crazy getting accent pieces and replacing older elements in our home. I just found some cute things for our new coffee table, and I finally replaced all our prep bowls, measuring cups, and spoons. Regrets? Not a one.

I runfess…

That Delilah gave us quite the scare this week. Mr PugRunner was delirious with worry, and I was incredibly nervous about the prognosis. We are VERY lucky that she has improved so well, and the vet sees no reason that she won’t continue on this path. Huge sigh of relief, and lots of cuddles for this beautiful baby.

I runfess…

That it sucked not running an in-person Turkey Trot this year. The one closest to my house was canceled entirely, and the next closest one was supposed to have about 2000 people, which felt like way too many. My friend J and I went out for five miles on our own this morning, and it was a fantastic run, but not quite the same.

I runfess…

That I am READY for the holiday season! I missed out on so much last year with my leg, and now I am ready to up for all of it. I put together a countdown for our family, and I am so looking forward to crossing things off the list. It’s a mix of kindness elements, and fun things for us, so I feel we are getting some balance in the month ahead.

Black Friday runfessions are in the bag. What are you runfessing this Black Friday?

    I love your turkey tank! You are way more in the holiday mood than I am. Maybe I’m just too tired from Thanksgiving baking, cooking, and eating. I used to like Black Friday shopping when my kids were younger and it was something to do, but I never was looking for a specific deal.

    I have never done Black Free day. I’m working anyway.

    Glad Delian is feeling better.

    All our Turkey trots were cancelled. I really missed them. But ran the course with others. It was fun but not the same.

    Stay safe.

    I runfess that my virtual TT just wasn’t the same. I’ve managed to make all of my other virtual races special but I just couldn’t get into the spirit with this one. Oh well.

    I’ve never been into Black Friday shopping either – the thought of those crazy crowds was always a turnoff to me.

    Happy to hear Delilah is doing better!

    And, I love your holiday countdown – great mix of fun and giving back!

    Your living room looks beautiful! The accent pieces are the fun part. So glad sweet Delilah made a solid rebound. Poor sweetie. I runfess I took down Halloween but it’s not yet properly put away. I’ve still got fall stuff up and I can’t bring myself to fully embrace Christmas yet. Who am I??

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
