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?

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?

Today’s cultivation brought to you by some windy miles. I started a little later than i wanted, but tomorrow’s another day.

Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk but I didn’t post. I’m still just mentally drained, but I got up today and tried to make a strong start of it.

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!
