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 absolutely love NYC.

Those BIG NYRR races are exciting but also stressful.

That being said, I’m DONE!!

Three was not a charm but instead I plan to try to run new races outside NYC and some smaller NYC races

so I quitting after THREE:

• • 3 Brooklyn Halfs

• • 3  NYC Halfs

• • 3 NYC Marathons

 

2. I runfess…

I had so much fun last March running the Rock ‘n’ Roll DC Half Marathon with my friend Sue and getting a PW that I decided to do a repeat performance…

This time we flew to Asheville, NC and ran a half marathon there.

It was super hilly and we were so slow but when you’re “old,” you can still win age group awards.

3. I runfess…

I may opt to do all my races like this. At least ones that I travel to with a friend.

Tentatively next year, we may fly to Philly and do the Love Run.

New Orleans and Savannah are on our bucket lists, as well.

Stay tuned…

4. I runfess…

That being said, my next half marathon is local and downhill.

It will be my 6th time running this race (once was COVID canceled and once I volunteered when injured).

So I am hoping (or dreaming) to finish it with some semblance of speed.

and I really hope the weather is better than last year.

5. I runfess…

After my April half marathon, I am looking forward to a half marathon break…

I may not run one until September!!!

No worries, I’m not taking a racing break, there will be plenty of shorter races…
