June is rapidly slipping away (and so now is the daylight now that we’re past the summer solstice.) It’s time to open up the Runfessional before we welcome in July in all its star-spangled glory.
Summer Runfessions
It’s been a banner year for tornadoes in this neck of the woods, in fact the state of Illinois leads the country and the world in number of tornadoes. I runfess I AM OVER IT! We’ve cowered in the basement FOUR TIMES so far this season and, let me tell you, it is not fun.
You already know I’m in a constant state of decluttering. There’s a Turkey Trot jacket in the pain cave (which is also our tornoado shelter) that I’ve considered donating time and time again. With all the tornadoes happening though it’s come in handy. Tornado weather is typically uncomfortably warm and steamy. So when I head to the basement it’s cold by comparison. This is where said Turkey Trot jacket comes in. I’ve been throwing it on while I’m down there, waiting for the storms to pass.
I runfess my stationary bike sessions have fallen out of favor. I’m not sure why but sitting there grinding away has been pure drudgery lately. I’d much rather be outside on the trails.
We’re heading off on vacation very soon and I runfess I’m breaking a cardinal rule. I’m bringing trail shoes I’ve never worn before. A model I’ve never even tried. Stupid, right? But look how pretty they are!
Okay your turn: What have you to runfess? Ever run in shoes you haven’t broken in? What are you hanging on to that you really should let go of? Any fun July 4th plans?
