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 🙂

In flight? You know it! I’m adjusting my schedu In flight? You know it!

I’m adjusting my schedule a little bit. Right now, I just can’t get up as early as I would like, but that’s ok. Things can be shuffled and rearranged.

Additionally, I rescued a big dog this morning with another neighbor. I heard galloping behind me as I was heading home and was almost tackled by a huge doodle-type. Between us, we were able to call the microchip service and get his address and she went to notify the owner. He wasn’t a good walker and he even knocked me down (very slowly and dramatically) while I held him and waited. He is home safe and sound and I’m wondering how many people carry leashes with them on the run just in case this happens. This is my second rescue in a few weeks. It’s becoming a thing.

Any plans this weekend? Any dog rescues while running?

It was a challenge but I got it done.

Anyone else just forging ahead as needed? We’ve got this!

Here’s to the first medal of the year! And here’s to so many more!

Did you race this weekend?

Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside! Peep that frost! Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside!

Peep that frost!

Solid five miles this morning. I just started the strength training plan I won from @kimrunsthemitten so I was a little sore but I think the frosty air was good for my muscles. 

It’s promising to be a pretty day so fingers crossed for more outdoors time!

How are you honoring this day?

It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! We saw @tiger24film, presented by @staugalligatorfarm at the Lewis Auditorium, and it was truly an incredible and thought provoking documentary on the tenuous balance between wild animals in their natural habitat, humans, and the consequences that occur when the two come together. 

There is still plenty of time to check out screenings at three locations this afternoon and evening! Visit https://www.staugfilmfest.com for ticket details!
