Runfessions for August 2026


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.

  1. 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.
