Welcome back to Runfessions, 2025 style, in which we say “Peace Out, January!” Seriously. Could this month BE any longer? I am ready to move on to February in hopes of brighter days!

For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
Let’s Start By Runfessing…
That our Biloxi trip was so fun that I convinced my parents to go try it out! I really had no idea what to expect, and with the weather being so cold and windy, we didn’t really make any hard plans, because we just didn’t know what we were going to get. However, it all worked out and we learned all about a brand new-to-us place.

Next, I’ll Runfess…
That I have been bad about the gym since the new year. I started off great but with travel, car issues, stressy depress moments… It hasn’t worked out. At least not as well as I wanted it, too. New week, new goals, right? Let’s go!

My Next Runfession Is…
That I miss the winter weather! Yes. It was cold. And yes. It was hard to get out of bed in the morning. But it’s so much better than fighting the heat and humidity. Plus, I am not about all the layers! Yuck. I know I’m probably alone but seeing the temps start creeping up to the 70s makes me sad.

I Runfess…
That we went out to a club! Crazy! I am usually in bed by 8:30, and this event didn’t even start until 9PM! Once we got there, I actually would have stayed, but we called it by 10:30. A even beat us home from work! This was the wildest thing we’ve done in ages!

Finally, I Would Runfess…
That the month was harder, but the week was even a little bit harder. I got some disappointing news, not worth sharing, and so I started a Rover profile. It may not be a complete shock that I love pet sitting and maybe it’s about time I do something a bit more formally with it. I have a couple of really fantastic clients already, but extending my reach and going a little bit further seems like it may be a great idea. Stay tuned!

I’m sorry that your year has gotten off to a bumpy start! It’s all about controlling what we can–which isn’t very much, Your new job with Rover sounds fun! I’m sure you’ll have some entertaining stories to share.
I can control my temper tantrums. And that’s about it lol!
This month has been rough for sure. This week especially.
I would love to hear about your Rover experience from the pet-sitting side! We’ve had great Rover people for Scooby!

I want to pet sit for Scooby!
You can start your 2025 gym resolution on Feb 1 – why not? Better than waiting until next year.
What made you want to go to a club!? Fun!
Good luck with your Rover business!
Well, February 3. Do it on the Monday, right?
Honestly? FOMO. We have this really amazing squad of people who go to the media openings, the Yelp parties, etc, and I love to be a part of it. And it’s also nice to get dressed up and get the VIP treatment. I don’t know that I need to go every weekend, but it was fun and I”m glad I went.
Oh, you’re not alone. It’s getting up to 80 degrees again here and I’m not happy about it. PLEASE tell me “winter” isn’t over!!!
I also have been having trouble getting to the gym. Lately I’ve been doing strength at home, but it’s not the same. I say- New month, new me! February will be better.
Homes strength is very much not the same. I’m pumping myself to go after I finish some post comments. I don’t want to but it’s the right choice.
Sorry for the tough January…it really is the longest month of the year (literally & otherwise). My youngest does a lot of Rover “work” and loves it!
I’m excited. I’ve sat privately for people but I want to expand my reach.
Yeah I don’t know how you can run when it’s 70+. I’d melt! I agree January was not for the faint of heart. But it’s over and we move forward. That’s what I’m doing anyway, or at least trying to. All the best with the Rover gig! Sounds fun!
I mean. I don’t have much of a choice, you know? This is why I go out so early in the morning in the spring/summer. It’s just too hot otherwise.
