Runfessions As We Kickoff Summer

May 30, 2024

This post contains an affiliate link

Memorial Day has passed, the daylight is long, school is out and June is right around the corner. Seems like now would be a good time to visit the Runfessional. Runfessions are always a good idea, don’t you think?

Runfessions As We Kickoff Summer

This week was all about coming down from the Graduation Weekend high. While heading back to work after being off for 4 glorious days was difficult, I runfess having a house filled with leftover chips, dips, cake and charcuterie is very challenging. According to my Lumen, I was slowly getting back to that elusive fat-burn status….that is until I dropped my Lumen Metabolism Tracker INTO a steaming cup of coffee. How does that happen? I don’t even know. Thankfully my Lumen seems to have come away unscathed.

It’s rare when I come across other people when I’m out on a trail run. I love the peace and solitude. The other day though I encountered a woman and her dog. They pulled off to the side as I approached and the woman looked nervously behind her. I wondered what was making her nervous. Was she waiting for a companion? Another dog?? Being chased? As I proceeded down the trail I found out. Pulled off in the woods was a guy and another dog. I’d like to tell you the dog was doing his business, but I runfess someone else was doing exactly that, however it was not the dog. I will leave it at that.

I’ve gotten all kinds of opportunities over the many years I’ve written this blog. Some of them are amazing while others are a hard no. I runfess I recently got an offer that pretty much tops them all…and gives me the creeps at the same time. It’s an affiliate offer for a website that connects people to foot fetish pics. Sort of a feet pic database if you will. Eeeew.

Ok your turn: What have you to runfess?

I’m linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday. Join us!

    Hmmm. I think not coming across other runners on the trail is a good thing- you never know what people are doing out there!
    So I would have been tempted to take the Lumen/steaming hot coffee incident as a sign from the universe, and scarfed down all the treats in your house. It sounds like you have more self control than me.
    Lastly- my daughter and her friend asked me if they could sell photos of their feet to one of those websites, to raise money for a trip they want to take. WHAT? No! Get a real job! Sheesh. What is this world coming to?

    Eeew, that guy on the trail? And the foot fetish gig? I’m amazed at the weirdos out there. I’m glad your graduation weekend was so memorable;-)

    On men peeing around… just yesterday, as I was out on my run, I shouted at a guy for peeing on the beach. THE BEACH!!! There are public toilets in a 2-minute walk distance.

    I runfess that I walked right up to him while he was still peeing (!) and gave him a mouthful. At least he was apologetic about it.

    Uff, that felt good to get that of my chest!

    What is this, skeevy runfessions? My feet are anxious reading about that website. But Jenny’s daughter’s question – ack!

    I hope you get to relax this weekend!

    Ugh – I encountered a man with his pants down outside last week here. No bueno!

    Are you sure that Lumen drop was not intentional!? lol

    It is ice cream season and I have no willpower. I’ll leave it at that.

    Eww on the guy in the woods and foot pics!!!

    Oh, wow! I don’t ever have moments like that! I mean, when you gotta go, you gotta go, but I really do prefer when people “gotta go” in a proper restroom LOL!

    I hope things calm down a little soon! You had a very busy start to summer!

    […] over coffee with Deborah, Kim, Coco and Marcia, let’s have some runfessions and a quick rundown of yesterday’s 10K since it’s, […]

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
