It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
I runfess…
I STILL can’t seem to motivate myself to run in the morning before work. It’s not that I sleep in but I am lazy. I sit around watching the Today show, eating breakfast and reading email/blogs. Then all of a sudden, it’s time to go to work.
When I am busy after work and I need to run, I have to run at lunch. It’s ok now because it is still cool out. That will change when it gets warm and I will be too sweaty to go back to work.
How do you early morning runners do it?
I runfess…
Last month, I couldn’t go to yoga or the gym because I had tennis elbow. Good excuse, right?
Now, my elbow feel fine…but I still haven’t gone… no time, no ambition, too lazy.
I need an intervention!!
I runfess…
I din’t taper for my last half marathon.
I usually run 8 miles the weekend before but I ran 11 miles on Sunday.

11 miles
Then I ran 4 miles on Monday, 5 miles on Wednesday, 2 miles on Thursday….
OOPS!
I ran my second fastest half so I guess it was okay and if it weren’t so f##in hilly, I might have PRed.
I runfess…
I also did not recover after my last half marathon.
My bad!
I ran 3 miles the next day and also on Wed & Thurs. Plus I have 10k on Saturday and a 5k on Sunday.

my legs were TIRED!!
I runfess…
I still have my Starbucks addiction. I stop on the way to the park. And I walk to the park everyday at lunch. (Darn, I wish they would close that store!!!)

I even walked there in the rain
However, I have discovered their Chocolate Banana Smoothie. Tell me it’s healthier than a frappuccino!
I runfess…
I don’t like hills. I walk rather than run up them. And I don’t train on hills.
So why do I sign up for hilly races?

May 8 – HILLY!!!!!

May 29 – Hilly

I haven’t signed up yet but I probably will…
Happy Running! Anything to runfess this month?
Oh, I have lots of runfessions.
None of yours are terribly shocking. 😉
My guess is the chocolate banana smoothie is not so healthy.

I am right there with you on so many of these. I know as soon as it heats up I’ll have to run at sunrise yet right now it’s plenty light out and I can’t get my behind out due to sheer laziness, blog reading and coffee. Tough habits to break. Thanks for linking up!

Yes I’m hoping the heat will get me out of bed this summer.

I’m joining in that Starbucks addiction Runfession… I can’t help it. I love my mocha frapps, and get really mad when they put whipped cream on them!
Oh my god! you just kept rocking those runs! I have been skipping Yoga for running for the last 4 months… i’ll go back, any day now!
