Runfessions for March

It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday, and, since it is the last Friday of the month, I’m linking up with Marcia to share some Runfessions. So let’s get to it!

Runfessions for March

It’s been two weeks since I got my cortisone shot and I runfess that I’m starting to feel pretty defeated because I had hoped to feel better at this point. While I thought I had turned a corner after last weekend (race volunteering on Saturday and then a solid run/walk effort on Sunday) by Tuesday I was feeling a little achy and then Wednesday was just not fun 🙁 I have been trying to stay positive, but I runfess that I’m struggling to maintain that positive attitude.

I runfess that I am just not a fan of DST right now.  While I do like that daylight lingers later and later in the day, I very much prefer working out early in the morning, and I runfess that my motivation to get out for a walk or run/walk in the dark is way low. I’ve been slipping in workouts midday or after work, but I can’t wait for more early morning light!

Have you ever had a cortisone shot? Are you missing the early morning light?

Week 10: It Will Come

"It will come" - that was my mantra during today's run/walk intervals. A gentle reminder that this return to running will be slower than I want (a lot slower!), but eventually I will get there. Where is "there" you ask? I'd love to get back to 5 mile … [Continue reading]
