How are we nearing the end of March already? I feel like we have been in the middle of winter all month and now suddenly April is days away. Of course the fact that it has felt like winter for much of March this year might have something to do with it. As we roll…

It’s too hot for a February Runfession
I think that Mother Nature is suffering from hot flashes this winter. I’m used to a few random “I can wear a skirt and maybe a tank top” days, but it seems like we’ve had more than normal. And even when it’s “cold”, it’s late fall cold, not winter cold. We haven’t even had a…
Once again I find myself runfessing…
How on earth is it nearly the end of January? This month just flew by and I’m not even sure that I accomplished anything. OK, that’s a lie. I managed to spend way too much money on car repairs – in part thanks to rodents. Know what they told me at the dealership yesterday??? That…
Final Runfessions for 2017
Here we are with three days left in 2017. It’s the final Friday Five of the year and the final Runfessions. And I have to admit that I do have a few runfessions to share… As I write this, I’m 4.8 miles from 1400 for the year and 7.1 miles from 100 from December. I…
Post Thanksgiving Runfessions
Happy Black Friday to all of you who celebrate! OK, I know it’s not a holiday and you won’t catch me in any stores. So far, I haven’t even bought anything online. I’m sure I’ll breakdown and take advantage of a race discount at some point. After all, I don’t actually have any races on…
Time for some marathon runfessions
It’s the last Friday of the month, so it’s time to runfess the sins of October. Since the Marine Corps Marathon is fresh in my mind, all of my runfessions are related to that (or at least to the marathon distance). I runfess that within hours of finishing the marathon, I was considering running another…
Runfessions of a Marathon Runner
Here we are, two months out from the Marine Corps Marathon. As seems to happen every August, I’m a little bit fixated on my training. Unlike last year, I actually feel like I’m doing a decent job on following my training plan. I’m not 100% on it, but I’m closer than I’ve ever been. So,…
Runfessions are good for the sole
Or good for the soul. Something like that. How have we reached the end of June already? It seems like just yesterday I was packing for the trip with Beer Geek. Since then both kids have survived finals, Shoo graduated from elementary school, and Jones took a visit to San Diego with his grandmother. Now…
Heading to the Runfessional before I head out of town
I’m not sure I’m actually ready to leave town, but we are heading out today for the Heartland Series. It’s been a busy week all around, so I’m leaving a lot of things in a state of not quite done. Oh well, that seems to be my life lately. So, what do I have to…
That time I had to runfess to…
How is it nearly the end of February? Or really, how is it only February? Why do I ask that? Because I haven’t run in layers in weeks. In fact, yesterday I wore a Happy Girl and a tank top and was too hot. We shall rename 2017 the year without a winter. So, what…
Black Friday Runfessions
Today is Friday, right? I’ve been so confused about the day all week because Jones was out of town until Monday night, Shoo did not have his usual soccer practice, and neither boy had school on Wednesday. Somehow it feels like it should be Monday, but I still have three days off. Sweet! Since it’s…
Runfession is good for the soul
TGIF. This has been a busy week and I’m tired. Thursday was my birthday and it was an ok day (not amazing, but acceptable), until the end of the day. Then I happened to notice that the bubbles from Shoo’s bubble bath were coming out of our basement toilet. I’m pretty sure that’s not a good…
