It’s the last Friday of the month and time for Marica’s runfessional where we cleanse our soles. I was on the fence about writing a post but after reading a few I felt the need to add my two cents. Thanks Marcia for this opportunity.

I runfess that I took a little break from posting on social media and still have only been posting occasionally. I started feeling like I spend most of my time interacting with virtual “friends” that I’ve never meant and thought maybe I should focus on friends that I can actual interact with face to face. Hmmm, how do you think that worked out?  First of all did I forget we were in the middle of a pandemic? And even if a friend wanted to get together (safely) schedules seem to always get in the way. In all honesty, I like sharing posts with my virtual friends. 

I will runfess though, I also started to feel like “What’s the point really?” Does anyone really care about my silly posts, and my runs or bike rides? I don’t mean to sound all ‘woe is me’, that’s not my intention at all, I just felt like I’m not doing anything special, I’m a middle aged woman running with her dog just like a million others. 

Then a couple of co-workers asked if I quit running because I hadn’t posted anything. They said I inspired them and missed seeing my runs. Well, damn, then I felt bad. Like I was letting them down. Good god, a girl can’t win. LOL. Loooong story short, I’m somewhat over my slump and decided to post when the mood strikes.

I runfess that I really miss actual races. I need a goal. And not a goal to run alone. Is that too much to ask? I get why we can’t but I’m so over it. 

Well it sounds like I needed that runfessional. Now I’m off to have some apple pie and a cup of tea. I hope y’all have wonderful weekend. 

Did anyone do any Black Friday shopping? Are you itching for a real, live and in person race?

Thanks for reading.
