March is done and spring is here (?)! Definitely not feeling it today with the gloomy, overcast, breezy day. Nice of the sun to make an appearance after 4:00 in the afternoon. :-/ 

Anyhow… this past month I took some time off work, which allowed me to put in some major miles, 76 to be exact, as well as time to think and reflect on life. With all that time to run and think I feel the need to get a few things off my chest and jump on the Runfession band wagon.

March Runfessions…

I runfess... I suck at push-ups and probably will never be able to do more than five. I runfess that I’m okay with that. I want to be that strong badass middle-aged (ugh) woman, but I’m a runner with no upper body strength. I can live with that.

I runfess… I don’t always practice everything I preach. I don’t stretch when I should, I eat chips when I shouldn’t and I prefer a chocolate chip cookie with my afternoon tea rather than a healthy snack. I’m trying to be better but the struggle is real!

I runfess… I’m relieved that my daughter’s dance competitions are over and I’ll never have to spend the entire day on high school bleachers ever again {unless of course one of my grandkids become a dancer, and then I will go, and love it 😉 } Is it terrible of me to admit this in print? I love watching my girls dance but those competitions are LONG!

I runfess… I would LOVE to write tickets to drivers who run red lights! Really, to all inconsiderate, rude drivers. It would give me such satisfaction.  🙂 

Wow, this is freeing! I should have started writing runfessions a long time ago. Thanks to the bloggers who started this! Now I feel like I can start fresh in April.

In the month of April I will be focusing on speed work to prepare for the Purple Run 7k in Las Vegas on the 21st. It’s the perfect time to do interval training…I have an 8 month old German Shepherd who loves to run, and short sprints are her favorite. I also plan on taking a Pilates class for the first time. From what I read, Pilates strengthens your core, making it the perfect cross-training activity for runners. Opinions?

                                                                    Linking up with Marcia for March Runfessions.

 Do you practice all that you preach? Would you enjoy writing tickets to rude drivers?

Are you training for a race?

Thanks for reading!

Keep running!
