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.
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…
Could I have pushed myself harder?? Doesn’t matter…
Happy Running! Anything to runfess this month? Please share.
It’s Friday so I’m also linking up with bloggers, Me (My First 5K and More), Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and The Running Teacher!

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!
