I found this linkup last year and loved it…and, I don’t have enough running-themed posts. So, here are my runfessions for April.

I runfess… that after the next two weekends, I do not plan to do any more races until the first weekend of September. It is just too hot here in the summer🤷🏻♀️

I runfess… that I dread running in the summer months because most running needs to be on the “dread”mill. The heat makes me sick. However, I am very thankful to have a gym close by where I can run.

I runfess… that I am already planning ahead for the September race I mentioned above. It is a 14.2 miler and starts at 5 am on a Sunday. This year, instead of waking up at 2:30 am and driving an hour to get there, I plan to get a hotel room the night before. Why didn’t I think of this before? HA! It will also help that I can go back to the room after the race to shower and change into church clothes so that I can then go straight to church 🙂
