Here we go again! It’s 2026 and today, we have our very first runfessions of the year! One would think there wouldn’t be much to write about in only 30 days, but what a year this month has been!

For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
Let’s Start By Runfessing…
That I spent three days in the gym this month. Is this a great start? Nope! But it IS a start. I just don’t have the hours in a day to make it all happen. As I’m sure you know, strength training is at the bottom of my barrel of things I enjoy, so it’s often the first thing I’m rescheduling. One day at a time.

Next, I’ll Runfess…
That it’s cold here. Really cold. I know that seems ridiculous, but we are having deep freezes and temps are in the 20s overnight. Brrr. I don’t have too many running outfits for this level of cold, so you’re probably seeing and will continue to see a lot of rewears. I like to mix it up, but sometimes it can’t be done.

My Next Runfession Is…
That with the cold, I am getting up LATE. I still like to get out first thing, but I also want the sun to warm us up a little bit. I miss the sunrises, but I also loathe leaving my cozy bed.

I Runfess…
That a few months ago, I saw a video of a creator who got up one day, hopped on a flight from Orlando to NYC, got herself an aesthetic bagel, picked up a picnic basket which she enjoyed in central park, shopped in her favorite vintage stores, had a viral coffee, and then went home. It made me realize that sometimes, we can just be spontaneous and do cool things. I promptly told my husband, and while the NYC in a day plan hasn’t come to fruition yet, we did go swimming with manatees on a random Wednesday. Free will and adult money makes for an amazing combination.

Finally, I Would Runfess…
That work was challenging this week. I’ve been pretty spoiled by some pretty incredible clients (two- and four-legged alike), but there were some situations that arose this week that I did not enjoy navigating. All is well, and we are moving forward but I’m happy to be done with any issues.
