It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
The last one of 2024…
1.I runfess…
My last vacation for the first time was not a race-cation.
It was supposed to be as we signed up for a 10k
But the they changed the date.
Tentatively we thought that we would run this race but it was not worth the money on such a small race
Instead I ran a 10k with a new friend.
2. I runfess…
I turned down the opportunity to run the NYC Half Marathon in 2025.
Then my local running friends signed up for the lottery.
I had FOMO for a millisecond but instead signed up for a DC race the same weekend:
3. I runfess…
I got overwhelmed with work and parties this year.
I skipped several weekday runs which is totally unlike me.
I hope to get back on track next year.
4. I runfess…
My annual miles is the lowest ever…(even with marathon training?)
I’m healthy so that’s all that matters.
5. I runfess…
Having been burned two years in a row with injuries, I’m waiting until the last minute to sign up for the Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon in February.
different course back in 2021 (and it was HOT!!)
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!
So Join in!
And don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other blogs!!
My First 5K and More... 
Ending the year healthy and injury-free is a great feeling, isn’t it?
We didn’t even have an office holiday party this year. I went to my neighbor’s holiday party last weekend, and that was it.

Yes. It is great. Fingers crossed I stay that way.
I work from home so I missed the office party.

You had quite a year and ending it healthy is what’s most important. Here’s hoping it all works out for running the Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon this year. Fingers crossed!

At least I want the choice to do it or not and not because I can’t.

My 2024 mileage is significantly down compared to previous years, and I’m totally fine with it. I’ve never been a numbers-obsessed runner anyways even though I do track & log everything. I do plenty of other fitness stuff, so it’s all part of the mix.

Same… I don’t ever track pace.
I did slack off more than usual though.

I hear you on the less miles, same here!!
we can’t have all the miles and all the races every year. As long as we are healthy and fit and are finding joy that’s all that matters!!

yes, finding joy was my word for the year… although there were plenty of low points (lost 3 friends), there were a lot of good things to remember.

I know this was a harder year for you, and I’m so sorry about that. I do hope that 2025 is a better year with all the best of everything.
