It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
Sorry I’m a little late on this one…
I runfess…
I was in NYC for work for 5 days this past week. I didn’t bring my laptop but I did have my iPad. So I could have. But I didn’t feel like blogging. So I skipped WW, TOLT and Friday Five. Just needed a breather. Ever feel blogged out?
I runfess…
Though I was in NYC for work, my mind was fixated on “Where and when can I run today?”
It’s not easy in a strange city when you have little free time.

sometimes you just have to miss lunch
I had hoped to do the following:
- run along the Hudson River
- run along the East River
- run to Battery Park
- run in Central Park
I did accomplish the first three.

I ran four races this month. Remember I suffer from the FOMO disease.

even raced in these horrible conditions
I almost ran one this weekend too. But I felt guilty neglecting my mentee and her kids so I spent time with them on Saturday. I just wish my running friends would not post pix from their races on FB when I don’t run. LOL.

I choose my long run locations based on the post run fueling options. Don’t you?

I signed up for 6 races in November!! Yes, six! a 10k, a 15k, and 4 5ks. At least none of them is a half marathon. This just means that my long runs may be non-existent.

the Troy turkey trot 10k is one of my favorites

I have a 5k in NYC this Saturday. The logistics for the weekend will be crazy – getting there, checking into my airbnb apt, meeting my friend from Russia, getting my bib, getting to the race, planning a blogger meet-up, getting my luggage, getting home, etc. There’s a 5k somewhere in the mix. I haven’t given the race a second thought. It’s just for fun. I would love to spectate the NYC marathon on Sunday but I don’t have a place to stay Saturday night. (Any offers?)

at last year’s 5k
Happy Running! Anything to Runfess?
You are going to be one busy lady next month! That sticky bun looks amazing!

It was. Glad I don’t live close to this bakery. And I don’t have any long runs planned for quite a while.

Sometimes I need a blogging break too.
That is a lot of racing and running. Glad you got to run several times in NY. See you Saturday ! You will be able to speak French with my husband 🙂

I do a lot of posts before I leave, and then I get my blogging break that way.
But I miss my blog when I don’t blog — or at least I guess I do when circumstances (not fun ones) prevent me from blogging.
I’m only planning 2 races in November. Oops, no, I guess it’s actually 3 . . .

I used to schedule my posts ahead but no time on the new job.
Remember I’ve been blogging since 2008 – I’ve said it all.

Eh, you blog so often normally that I’m not surprised you needed a bit of a break. Besides, you were BUSY!

Yes. I enjoy connecting with other runners. But I actually knit in the evening rather than going on the blog.
