While it is blazing…and I mean BLAZING hot here as I type, we all know Mom Nature can flip that switch any time she likes and fall weather will be here. Let’s get in some Runfessions before summer slips away. Let’s get started, shall we?
Runfessions Before Summer Slips Away
I received an Apple Watch for Mother’s Day this year. I runfess that since getting said watch, I’ve not worn my Garmin Fenix a single time. The data I receive from the Apple watch is fine, because honestly I runfess I don’t look at anything other than distance, and as long as those rings are closed, I’m good. I suppose I should sell my Fenix because who am I kidding? Do I need it?
I got my hair cut recently. I won’t lie it was much needed. Back in the day when I ran “seriously” I’d always make sure my stylist left me enough length for a ponytail and the front long enough so it’d go back in said pony. I runfess that at my most recent appointment I made no ponytail request and now I’ve got a mere stub of a ponytail with lots of wispy fly-aways in front. Serves me right I guess.
Due to the nature of my job, I get more than my share of Lululemon deliveries. The other day, FedEx dropped off yet another, and while I wasn’t necessarily expecting anything, I tore into the package soon after it landed on my doorstep. Upon further investigation, I realized the contents of this particular package was menswear. It was only then that I looked at the address on the package. It was on MY doorstep after all. Turns out said package was intended for a neighbor. I was a tad embarrassed I’d torn it open so I runfess I grabbed our packing tape, resealed the package and delivered it to the correct doorstep. Think my neighbor will realize I’d already opened it? Think he’ll care?
I runfess I get irritated to no end when people bag up their dog’s poop then leave it in the bag, on the trail, so it can sit there indefinitely. Like there’s someone following close behind, just waiting to clean up after you? Wth?
Ok it’s your turn: What have you to runfess? Ever open a package not meant for you?
I’m also linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday. Join us!
Ha ha on the mistaken delivery! I’ve been wearing my hair longer this past year or so, but I do know the inconvenience when all those loose ends fall out of any semblance of a pony or bun.
LOL at the menswear! I wonder what he thought of his tapped up package!
I’ve left poop bags on a run, but always in a discreet place on my way out to pick up on my way back. I do see some that linger. If you’re going to leave it, why bother bagging and make more waste?
You need to post a pic of your new haircut. I bet it looks great.
But yes I need to corral my frizz into a ponytail.
We have rain a cooler temps here. Is your heat coming my way?
Oh yes, the dog poop bags. Some of them think they’ll pick it up on the way back, then forget. I get that because I’m forgetting stuff all the time, but seriously, just tie it to the leash! Love your title photo, btw.
It is not blazing hot here (thankfully). It is, of course, raining. Again. Still. Turn off the spigot — and I am peeved by people watering their plants. Seriously?
I’m way overdue for a haircut, and I love my ponytail too. But my hair is layered, thinning, and there will always be flyaways.
Those dog poop bags just infuriate me! Do those people really think someone is going to come along and pick them up? One time I saw a poop bag swinging from a tree–obviously someone decided to fling it into the woods. Why not just let the dog poop and then bury it? Ugh.
I runfess that I haven’t had time to runfess this summer! I cannot believe how busy it’s been and how much fun I’ve had. No complaints!
Too funny about the mistaken delivery – though now I’m intrigued that you have a male neighbor who wears Lulu!
I see the occasional poop bag on my non trail runs and it always irks me. Why bother to bag it if you’re not going to take it away?!?
I want to see your new haircut! I’ve resisted getting an Apple Watch-I had an early version and thought it was really inaccurate for running. My favorite tracker now is my Oura ring bc I wear it sleeping. I do still love the Felix for running. Thanks for the Runfessions
Ha ha, I think your neighbor might realize someone opened his package, but hopefully he won’t know it was you.
My hair needs to be long enough for a ponytail, but not so long that it gets caught in my hydration vest in back. Yes, these are the considerations I have when when deciding on a hair style. Other than the ponytail situation, are you liking your shorter hair?
Yes, the dog poop bags- i guess their thought process is “someone else will clean this up.” It reminds me of my own house, although luckily it’s not dog poop bags, but crumbs all over the couch, hair all over the bathroom sink, or shoes sitting in the middle of the living room. Grrr.
I burst out laughing at the story about your neighbour’s package! Nice save! LOL!
I’m always amazed at how many people are very happy just “waiting” for others to pick up after them!
Oh yes! I live in an apartment building and I’ve ripped open a fair share of other people’s packages. Ooops. I think some of mine have been opened and then kept as they never made it to me!
The poop bags left on the ground are a pet peeve of mine, too! WHY!?
And I always fight the layers in the front – despite it looking better!
I’d buy that Fenix from you immediately!
The poop bags in Switzerland used to be brown. But then they realized it’s better to make them red so that they are more noticeable. Generally, the dog owners around here are very good – I hardly ever see stray poop bags. Or poop.
Here, outside my door, I often find the dog’s poop. No bags, only poop! It’s a shame.
Part of the reason I’m waiting on the haircut is I needed the ponytail for summer. I want to go short as it’s just too long. Yay Apple Watch. Friend me there./ The snark is fun. I too tossed the garmin after I went to the apple watch. It’s not perfect but I don’t care. Even if I were marathon training, I still probably woudn’t
I usually check names on packages first, but I am sure I have opened things not meant for me before.
I’m ready for winter.
