Friday Runfessions (June)

It's the last Friday of the month and you know what that means...

It's time for Runfessions!  Let's get right to it.

I runfess...

I lost all of the information on the My Races tab [^^ yes, right up there ^^].  When I recently went to edit that page, my list of nearly 200 races and links to their corresponding recaps had vanished.  Sitting there instead was my recap from the Tear Drop Half Marathon.  Seriously, how did that happen?  I've been able to recreate the list of marathons, half marathons, and cycling events.  But the rest of it?  All of those painfully hard fought 5ks?  It's too overwhelming.

I take a lot of photos.  In order to get an acceptable picture for blogs or other social media, I'm sure you all can appreciate the lengths we go to for just the right shot. Over and over.  And over.  My "thing" is to routinely take one after running; standing in the road waving to, or doing other silly things in front of, my mailbox.  Well, sometimes I'm caught red handed by a neighbor walking their dog or driving to work.

Don't mind me, I'm just counting my mail. 
Doesn't everyone?

This was on my last Runfessions post.  My bike is still on its trainer.  Since I consider myself solar powered and love to be outdoors, I realize this makes no sense.  I have no rationale.  This month I'll further runfess the front tire is pitifully flat.  And one more runfession for the road [get it?] - the frame makes a really handy rack for drying sweaty, nasty, dripping running clothes.

Unless I've forgotten an essential race item, I usually don't buy anything at race expos.  In my opinion unless it's a race specific souvenir, most items they have for sale can be bought online much cheaper.  I guess the mile high altitude made me delirious because I caved and bought sunglasses at the REVEL Rockies expo. At least I wasn't the only one who succumbed.   Thanks Teresa for sharing the "2 For" price with me!

A more honest runfession...
You Had Me At Lime Green

Earlier this year, I decided to finally have orthotics made for my running shoes.  I have super high arches and, according to my podiatrist, that is why I've fractured my metatarsal bones.  Twice.  However, I was instructed not to start using them until after my marathon training and the race itself were finished.  Umm...at my count that was almost four weeks ago.  They are still in their plastic bag. 

What would you like to runfess?
