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 guess it pays to be old but it doesn’t help my training when I keep winning my age group with PWs.
2. I runfess…
I had thought I ‘d run a May half marathon as my 4th of the year.
Unlike what I normally do, I waited to sign up.
Then I didn’t feel trained and so I didn’t.
Wouldn’t you know it? We had perfect running weather finally the day of the race – cool and cloudy.
3. I runfess…
I am having a hard time adjusting to running in humid weather.
What does a runner do?
Buy new shoes…
Topos Auras
Topos Cyclones
4. I runfess…
I have started decluttering and have gotten rid of many skirts.
But I’m having a hard time parting with my shoes.
Yes, I wear them out quickly (I must drag my heels…) But I still wear them for runs.
I just try to wear newer ones for racing.
in my Topos Auras – this may be my preferred long distance shoe..
5. I runfess…
Tomorrow I’ll be running the Run for Women 5k for the 18th time.
It has been my favorite race but as you know, all my races this year have been course PWs.
Does it count that I walked the race last year so no PW for me? LOL
Happy Running! Anything to runfess this month? Please share.

winning my age group numerous times would definitely motivate me! I’d call that a win!

Winning is winning! I ran a really terrible (for me) 10K trail run and I was 2nd in my AG in our local running circuit. No one showed up. So it’s a win – right!?

Your sense of humor is paramount to all your running & racing successes (and struggles). Good luck at your favorite 5K! I think this is the one several of us ran together virtually during Covid (?). I still have the tank top 🙂

Ha ha, I can see how it wouldn’t exactly motivate you to train hard, when you keep getting AG wins anyway! And, it’s funny about that half (the one you DIDN’T run) having perfect weather… after all the terrible weather halfs you’ve run this year. I guess the lesson is… sign up in advance and then you’ll be forced to run it.
You just reminded me- I really liked my Topos trail shoes! Maybe i need to try their road shoes again.

LOL. I sign up for too many races in advance.
Several kinds of Topos. Hard to figure out which ones I like best.

Good luck decluttering! I need to start with that but I also need to get in the head space to do it.
Love the shoes, and I love the reason for them even more.
