It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
It’s no surprise that my runfessions should be called RACEfessions.
1. I runfess…
It’s only February but I think I am already ignoring my word for the year.
Remember how I choose the word INTENTIONAL?
I have about 30 races on my Races list…and I am been impulsively signing up…
I guess I can say that I am INTENTIONALLY signing up for a lot of races lol
2. I runfess…
As I have mentioned in a previous post, once my NYC half marathon (Frozen Penguin) got cancelled, I was forced to sign up for another this coming weekend (or lose $80).
So I am racing another hilly two loops around Central Park but my only goal is to enjoy my time in NYC. Cari is also running the same race.
Hopefully I’ll be adding some fun shenanigans such as a visit to Governor’s Island (to see some ice sculptures).
3. I runfess…
There are so many cities and so many races, but NYC keeps pulling me in.
Shape Half ’17
You know where this is going. I signed up for another Central Park race in April.
NOT a 2 loop hilly half marathon!! Just one hilly loop – a new 5.8 mile race.
Maybe even the cherry blossoms will bloom early this year…
5. I runfess…
Every May even though I no longer play tennis, I go to Naples, FL to play tennis for 8 days.
I have in the past run a 5k but in recent years I have not been able (due to scheduling or COVID).
This is was in 2019. Rebecca died unexpectedly last year (so I will thinking of her whenever I run this race 😦 )
You’ll be happy to know, that I will be running a 5k race while I’m there this year.

I’d LOVE to run in NYC, but #logistics LOL It’s hard to pass up a good race, especially since we were without for (what seems like) such a long time. I have a couple new-to-me races on my radar that I have not yet committed to…stay tuned!

Maybe you’re impulsively signing up for races, but there’s intention behind it. You’re healthy and race are happening now- you might as well make the most of it because you never know what the future will bring. Remember we talked about this in FL- although I still haven’t acted on it and signed up for a race.
Good luck and have fun this weekend!

So happy you’ll get to see Cari again! I love seeing runner meetups. I would do any race to see those cherry blossoms. That’s a tree we don’t get here but it reminds me of the purple jacarandas we get here in spring. So pretty!
