It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
1. I runfess…
Obviously I have runner’s amnesia because after my last half marathon that felt inexplicably hard, I vowed to prepare better so I would not feel defeated that last few miles.
2.I runfess…
I think I went a little overboard with running short races:
- 08-10-25 – Run for the Roses 5k
- 08-17-25 – Ellen’s Run
- 09-06-25 – Malta 5k
- 09-13-25 – Squirrel Stampede 10k
- 09-27-25 – Great Pumpkin Challenge 10k
- 10-04-25 – Barn to Bridge 5k
- 10-11-25 – Lake Placid Half Marathon
My next half marathon on Oct. 11 may go even worse than the last one.
3. I runfess…
Even if my next half marathon is my worst ever, I don’t regret running any of those shorter races.
I enjoyed them and won my age group in each one.
4. I runfess…
My next half marathon will be #75 and if I can stay healthy, I’m going for 100!
My 1st and it was going to be my only one… (Naples, Fl – 2011)
5. I runfess…
I still plan to run 5ks. I don’t expect any PRs but I haven’t given up hope on that sub 30.
close… 30:09

My First 5K and More... 
Ha, yes runner’s amnesia is real! But I think you’ll be fine. You ran a strong half here in Florida in spite of the heat- hopefully you’ll have great weather for this next one and your body will know what to do.
I like your quest for 100!

It looks like the 5k is where your heart is and that’s perfectly fine. All the best hitting that big 100 halfs!

Running 74 (almost 75) half marathons after saying you were only going to run one is pretty awesome! I’m right here ready to cheer you on in your quest to run 100!

That’s great the big #75 is almost here! I’m not sure of my count..I know I’m probably well over 50, but I’d have to do some digging to get an accurate number.

I bet your number is high and you are younger.
