hello, august runfessions!

This has been the fastest and slowest month ever. EVER. Let’s get down to some runfessions.

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

runfessions

I runfess…

That I have been doing a terrible job with miles. Am I getting out every day? Yes. The run streak continues. Am I doing amazing things out there? Not in the least. I’ve been slammed with back to school, driving A around to all his commitments, work, and then a few personal things. It s what it is.

I runfess…

That we changed our running schedule. It used to be Tuesday/Thursday with a long run on Saturday (and a mile of running at the beach on Monday), but we switched to Monday/Wednesday with the long run on Friday. This is to accommodate late Friday night football games and competition weekends.

I runfess…

That I haven’t made it to the beach in many many weeks (or at least, it feels like many, many weeks. I miss it.

I runfess…

That I have participated in several activities that have NOT been great for my body. Two separate sessions of working the polls, and scrambling around a football stadium in flip flops have left me feeling pretty sore and achy. Ugh.

I runfess…

That I haven’t signed up for any of my fall races, except Zooma, yet. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that I have so many other things on the books and want to make sure I can do it. Strangely, I still want to run, even without the carrot of a race on the schedule.

What are you runfessing today?

    This time of year is pure chaos with back to school. I promise it’ll get a bit better when A can drive himself to his stuff, but still. I runfess I had to bag Zooma Amelia Island and I’m bummed about it.

    This is the crazy busy time of year and sometimes running falls to the wayside! It will be there for you when things calm down. Hang in there!

    none of the Zooma races worked for me this year but they do look fun. You will undoubtedly snap right into your new schedule in a few weeks

    It’s hard when you have kids… they are more important than running. Mine are grown so I have less responsibilities.

    I am running fewer miles than I used to… but I’m ok and I need races but I don’t need PRs.

    You are still active and enjoying life!! Keep it up.

    A month like this is what my son would call a “short-long.” It feels shorts while it’s happening because you’re so busy and time is flying by- but when you look back at it, it seems really long. I think you’ve been doing a great job getting out there with everything else going on. You can’t focus on everything at once. And, you do have a race on the calendar- it will be here before you know it, and it sounds really fun. Enjoy the craziness!

    Good for you on moving daily despite the back to school chaos! (And thank you for working the polls – it’s so important.)

    I have been keeping consistent, but my running miles have been low in recent weeks as well. Granted, I’ve been logging mucho miles on the bike…but still. Thankfully, I feel like my running is easing back to a “normal” range. Keeping things in balance is always a battle!

    I don’t k ow how parents do it! You’re moving, you worked for worthwhile causes — you’re doing great! Except for not getting to the ocean. Slacker ! Kidding, obviously. Just cause I wish ocean was an option . . .

    You’re still doing a lot. Being a parent is a lot of work. How long is your run streak now?

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?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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?!
