Here we are: runfessing all the March things. This month was just insane, personally, and in the overall scheme of things. Chaos has been an ongoing theme, and I am very happy to be putting March in the rearview mirror.

For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…

I runfess…

That I am so relieved that my strength training is working! Much as I don’t love it, I have been consistent and dedicated, and I am back to running, pain-free. Some days, I feel like my entire morning is spent doing some kind of physical activity, but if I am seeing results, it’s worth it.

I runfess…

That puppies are a lot of work. Don’t worry: I’m not complaining. This is the kind of work I don’t mind. And honestly, could Leonidas be any cuter (Luna is equally adorable)? But the truth is that we have a lot of sleepless nights and super early mornings, and lots and lots of potty breaks. Butt he is doing so well: he is 12 weeks old, pretty much sleeping through the night, and having so much fun with his big sister.

I runfess…

That Spring Break was a bit of a bummer. Between the weather canceling most of my plans, the dark and stormy days, Mr PugRunner being out of town, and the whole appliance fiasco, I was really disappointed. There were bright spots (like spending time with my parents, and aforementioned new appliances), but nothing went according to plan, and that was disappointing.

I runfess…

That I am also disappointed that I had to defer my April trail relay. Due to injuries, it was absolutely the right decision, but I had been so excited for it. I feel like one thing after another keeps getting canceled for a variety of reasons, and that’s keeping my very much off balance.

I runfess…

That since the trail relay is off the table, I’ve been tempted to sign up for a whole slew of other events. This one is coming up in a little over a week, and I’m tossing around the idea. I’ve never done it before, and I don’t love evening races, but what the heck?

What are you runfessing today?

    Too bad about your plans.

    But the good news is that you are running pain free.

    Trail races scare me still. My ankle is very inflexible. I’m afraid of falling. One day I will bite the bullet.

    Wine and chocolate? How can you go wrong? Sounds like fun.

    I feel like you and I have been experiencing a similar “blah-ness” these days. Except you have a puppy to cheer you up! Yes, Leo could not be any cuter.
    That race sounds fun! You can’t go wrong with wine and chocolate.

    The Wine & Chocolate 5k sounds like it’s the fun race you need right now. Sorry spring break was disappointing. Bad weather seems to throw a kink in stuff all over the country lately. Little Leo could not be cuter!

    Sorry that Spring Break didn’t come together. The weather has really been such a challenge! It is great to hear that your strength training is paying off – I hope running continues to feel good for you. The Wine & Chocolate 5K sounds like fun – wish I lived closer 😉

    I think that Wine and Chocolate 5k is right up your alley! I know we are all wanting to feel ‘normal’ again, but I guess we have to ease back into it. Love love love the pups!

    Seems like we all had undesirable weather this week. It got really cold, here, after Monday…and the wind upped its vindictiveness. That 5K could be a pseudo cure-all 🙂

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?!
