It’s hard to believe we only have a couple more days of July which means it is time for Marcia to open the runfessional,

…and while we’re at it let’s bare our soles over coffee with Coco and Deborah.

I’m great at multitasking, my coffee is hot, so let’s get to it.

If we were having coffee I’d runfess that I gave in and signed up for the virtual Boston marathon.  Yeah I know, what the heck? Hear me out. My rational was that I was going to Boston on a family trip anyway and it might be my only chance to get that medal. Well, since registering things have changed (big surprise). We have cancelled our trip all together, because who knows what is going to be open when we get there and part of the family couldn’t go because of furlough issues, and I’m really not sure I want to sit on a plane with a bunch of strangers during a pandemic. Ugh. So now I’m torn between sucking it up and running 26.2 miles here in California and pretending I’m in Boston or throwing in the towel and saying screw it. I don’t want to be a quitter but…

Over coffee I’d runfess that I’m loving spending time on my bike with my husband. I may have mentioned that he got an ebike (electric bike) recently, and while I felt like he was cheating it has gotten him out of his chair on Saturdays and on the trail with me. He even rode with my sister on a day that I had to work.  Just to be clear, he actually does have to pedal to activate the pedal assist, so he is moving his legs. 🙂

Over coffee I’d runfess that I read “The Athlete’s Gut” by Wilson Patrick to try to get to the bottom of my GI issues and I didn’t learn a thing. To be fair I did get a refresher on the GI tract, some of which I had forgotten since nursing school, so that was good. But as far as why some mornings I have an angry gut, I’m still at a loss. It looks like I probably should keep a food diary. UGH! I’m not good at keeping any kind of journal and God knows I have tried. It’s really frustrating considering I have been able to eat what ever I wanted, all my life, without issue, until now. 

And lastly, and I didn’t want to end on a sour note but…

Over coffee I’d runfess that I have been a little in the dark about the whole Epstein thing. I guess I live under a rock. My daughter and I just finished watching Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, and WOW! What a sociopath! Now I need to know who else was involved and want to seen Ghislaine Maxwell spend the rest of her life in prison. Those poor girls. I want to hug them and tell them how sorry I am. Human trafficking is HUGE right now and happening right under our noses. Very scary, and sad.

Okay I can’t end like this. One last thing…

Over coffee I’d runfess that I am loving The Morning Show! If you haven’t seen it you should. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are amazing. I’m not loving that Steve Carell is playing such a jerk, but he is doing a fabulous job of it. Check it out on Apple TV. 

And that’s a wrap! Hope everyone is well and staying safe and sane. 

Update, I just saw that Coco and Deborah are moving the Ultimate Coffee Date to next Saturday so I guess I’ll be sharing over coffee next week too. Oops!

Thanks for reading and keep moving!
