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 must have amnesia because I ran a race TWICE in the same conditions… HEAT! HUMIDITY! I suffered both times! A race with no shade in August is going to be a killer. Remind me next year…
2. I runfess….
That same weekend, I had 9 miles on my training plan so I thought I might run the 5k race that I had registered for the next day.
last year
Nope, I decided that relaxing at the lake was a better plan…
and I ran those 3 miles on Monday.
3. I runfess…
That I love summer but as I get older my tolerance for heat is waning.
Sadly, I’m looking forward to fall temps.
4. I runfess…
Except in a race, I do run/walk intervals… I vary my intervals. 90:45 is my preference but there are days that 60:60 is all I can handle… and I’ve even resorted to 30:30.
Movement is the key, right?
5. I runfess…
In 2 weeks, my annual girls race-cation is scheduled. I love my local running friends but in addition to the group shrinking (3 have/will have moved away), we eat together more than we run together.
For this vacation, we still have 9 going but I maybe the only one running the half marathon…
As a result, I’ve been doing all my long runs solo.
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, and Runs with Pugs,
And don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other blogs!!
My First 5K and More... 
Well, I’ll try to warn you about August races next year, but I have a feeling you won’t listen. I agree, my heat tolerance has gotten way worse with age. SIGH.
Your girls weekend is coming up! Bummer that you’re the only one running the half… is there also a 5K option that the others are running? Anyway… you’ll have fun.
