Time to say goodbye to another month! Time is speeding by, but there’s always time for some runfessions, especially when it’s over virtual coffee!
Today we are linking up with ….
Marcia’s Healthy Slice for April’s Runfessions.
And the Ultimate Coffee Date with Coco and Deborah !
Over Coffee I Would Runfess…
That I am the mom of a teenager! What? How did that happen?? Ok, to be honest, it’s not hitting me quite as hard as I thought it might. After all, he’s getting older, but I’m not. Isn’t that how it works? It was a lovely week and day. We got to have some small celebrations and that just made it so nice.
Over Coffee I Would Runfess…
That I cheated on my regular iced coffee order from Starbucks. I wanted something lighter, and so I tried the Dragonfruit Refresher. I’m not much of a juice drinker, but this was really delicious, and definitely an option going forward. Also, I love the color. How can you not?
Over Coffee, I Would Runfess…
That I am so ready for school to be over!!!! A has completed three of his six classes and he is dragging it out. He literally has final exams in the remaining three, and while he has three weeks to complete them, why is he not doing it now???? The second he is finished, we can get in summer mode and I am so ready for it. He’s the one that has to manage the workload, of course, but procrastination aggravates me. Ugh.
Over Coffee, I Would Runfess…
That I am really love my Studio Sweat OnDemand Workouts. It’s great to have some strength back in my life, and I am so grateful to have a program that fits into my schedule that’s giving me results.
Over Coffee, I Would Runfess…
That business is picking back up. I’m glad to see it, and even though I’m slammed, it’s motivating me to do more and better. I don’t know about you, but the more I have, the more productive I feel. It’s also boosting my mental state. I’m doing my hair, nails, and makeup more. I’ve also stopped relying on athleisure for my daily wardrobe. Don’t get me wrong. Yoga pants are great, but I’m also making an effort to put on real clothes as well. It’s not the worst.
What would you runfess over coffee?

What is your business?? I’m glad it’s picking up! I’m not ready to wear regular clothes, ha! I just love my athleisure so much, it will be hard to go back to business attire this fall.
Happy birthday to your son!
I do social media and content freelancing. It’s great but things have been a little on the slow side. I’m so glad for the uptick in work.
Happy Birthday to A! I feel like we JUST did that pic with the balloons for thing 2, alas she’ll turn sweet 16 this summer. Nooo! Seriously how do they grow so fast and we don’t age at all??! Haha! I just had an unsweetened green tea/lemonade combo at Starbucks that was great as well. Gotta branch out sometimes!
Aw for 16! That’s just so exciting!
I’m glad I tried something new. It is good to get out of the comfort zone.
Yep, my kids are adults but I’m still a teenager — or at least in my 20s. 😉 I am not with you on the wardrobe. I am hoping to stay home through summer so I can wear Oofos instead of dress shoes for a while longer.
P.S. We pushed the coffee date to next weekend so we wouldn’t have ALL the link-ups on the same day. I hope you’ll join us again.
Glad your business is picking up! And Happy Birthday to your son!
I’ve been using presence.fit app for strength workouts and have returned to weekly in person training now that I’m fully vaccinated. I’m pretty sore but I know it will help!
I’m still not ready for in-person training. It’s just too much too fast for this introvert. One day, I’ll be ready again!
I runfess I love living in athleisure! And glad I’m not the only one confused about when the coffee date was.
Happy birthday to A! Glad I only have a husband to motivate.
I’m usually more productive when I’m busy, but this week I’ve been unmotivated.

It was such a crazy week and I missed the memo. I’ll come back for the coffee date!
Awwe, Happy Birthday to A! I love the “official teenager” banner lol. I also love the balloons too!
i love that there are so many app options for workouts. It makes it so easy to workout on the go or at home.
I wanted to do a big yard display, but we moved the budget to some other things that he liked better 🙂
App options have really been the MVP of this pandemic for fitness people!
Well, my oldest turns 27 this summer, her brother will be 24, and the other daughter is 21 LOL Crazy how I always thought my mom was so “old” when I was that age, but I feel 20 years younger. My kids may have a different idea, though. Happy Bday to your guy 😉
Eek! I don’t feel old at all! Hopefully, he thinks I’m pretty cool 🙂
Business is picking back up for us too! Believe it or not, it has been a very slow year in pediatrics. Most of our visits are for illness and there hasn’t been a whole lot of that (other than COVID, which we aren’t seeing in my office). It’s nice to feel useful again!
I do believe it!
I’m so glad you’re feeling purpose!
Happy birthday to A! Congrats on having a teenager! Ive been back in real clothes when I go to the office and I don’t like it. Give me back my yoga pants!
Ha! I confess to wearing pajamas way too often. I am super happy to have some new cute jeans and shorts.
Happy birthday to A! I hope he had a great day!
It’s going to be interesting when we get sent back to work in July, assuming all things go to plan. I will say that I’m really looking forward to wearing more professional clothing!
He did have a wonderful day. I’m glad we were able to manage that for him.
July is right around the corner!
I’m on vacation. I realized how I’ve missed real clothes. Spandex for 13 months.
I am loving Florida weather.
Enjoy it! It definitely got hot this week!
Yay, Happy Birthday to A! Love the banner.
Glad your business is picking up! i’m a massage therapist, and when we opened back up almost a year ago, we were slammed with clients coming in, and have been pretty busy the whole year. I’m happy for it but at the same time it’s like… do people know there’s a pandemic??? Anyway, because that’s my job I wear yoga pants and running shoes to work every day. I don’t think my feet would fit into regular shoes anymore. Or my body into regular pants, for that matter.
I bet you were slammed! Mr PugRunner wants t get a massage so badly, but he hasn’t attempted it yet.
Congratulations on being a mom to a teenager. They grow up so fast – how does that happen??
When I was teaching and had to get dressed up every day, I thought it would be great to be able to wear athleisure all the time. Now, I do kind of miss having an excuse to get dressed up. I probably have worn earrings less than 10 times in the past year+. I can’t figure out a comfortable way to wear them with a mask! Glad to hear your business is picking up!
I have a pair of screw back diamond studs that i have worn for maybe 14 years. Occasionally, I switch to something fun, but otherwise, I just leave these in. It’s easier.
Happy Birthday to A! And yes they definitely get older but we don’t 😉
Nice to hear that business is picking up for you! I worked from home before Covid so athleisure has been my go-to for a long time. I do miss getting dressed up for in-person meetings.
It’s nice to wear stretchy clothes, but it’s also nice too wear some cute and trendy things.
Happy Birthday to your son! Umm, why IS he dragging with this classes? Tell him to just finish them. 🙂
I DON’T KNWO!!! JUST FINISH ALREADY!!!
Listen, I have to give myself props for letting him make his own decisions on this one. Natural consequences and whatnot.
I met a friend for a museum and lunch… I had no idea how to dress.
That starbucks drink does look purdy. I went this morning after the post office broke my brain. I have to go with my usual because I can’t brain before coffee
