It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
1.I runfess…
I don’t need new running shoes and besides even if they are worn out, I have a hard time parting with them.
When I ran the half in Cape Cod, a piece of the heel wore off and was flapping as I ran.
So I contacted Topos.
They offered me a new pair or 50% off on 3 pairs.
Say “hello” to my new Cyclones, Atmos and Specters.
My running shoes for 2025 are all set!
2. I runfess…
I hate temptation emails…
Thanks to my Brooklyn Half finishing time, I will also get one of these emails for the 2025 Brooklyn half and the NYC full marathons.
But the answer is NO!!
3. I runfess…
In 2019, I had some fun times before and after the NYC marathon with Lacey and Cari.
I ran and trained for the NYC Marathon in 2023 solo.
When three of my local running friends got in for 2024, I was very excited.
For me, running is more social than physical.
But then ALL three of them had to defer and so it was just me again. 😦
4. I runfess…
I am looking forward to the next NYC marathon… TO SPECTATE.
I’ve only run the race… never watched it and cheered other runners.
me with my cheer squad
5. I runfess…
I was worried that the agony I experienced during the 26.2 miles would linger…
Nope, two days later, I felt like I had never run the race…
walked up to the top of The Vessel
Could I have pushed myself harder?? Doesn’t matter…
proud that I finished no matter what my finish time was!!!

Awesome way to get 3 pairs of shoes! While i’m sorry the original pair crapped out like that, good on Topos for making it right!
