And, here we are at the end of another month already! Marcia has opened the runfessional and for this week’s Fit Five Friday, I’ve got a couple of runfessions to share, so let’s get started, shall we?
Not So Spooky Runfessions
It’s Halloween and I runfess that I’m feeling pretty meh about the holiday. Aside from a couple of pumpkins added to the mums on my front porch, I’ve done no decorating, and I runfess that I just got around to buying candy yesterday. I know I’ll enjoy seeing the little ones in their constumes tonight, but once the teens start showing up I’ll be ready to turn the porch light off – Am I turning into a Halloween Scrooge?
A little pumpkin humor 😉
Recently, Peloton announced that they are once again, raising their rates. I saw many take to social to complain, and while I’m not thrilled to be paying more, I runfess that I’m not ready to give up my bike, especially with the winter months coming! Also, my husband has started taking some of the cycling classes, so I figure it’s not a bad deal for the two of us.
Lastly, while I was super excited to take my first run in more than a year and a half last Saturday, I runfess that I was also hella nervous! What if my leg wasn’t ready and there was pain? Thankfully I had nothing to worry about. I runfess that I couldn’t stop smiling during my run-walk intervals. I look forward to starting a Couch-to-5K plan next week!
There…now I can go into November with a clean slate.
Do you have any Runfessions to share? Are you a fan of Halloween – yay or nay?

Congrats on that first run! I’m so happy for you! Good luck as you continue to move forward.
Yep, Halloween scrooge here. I runfess that I don’t understand all the over-the-top lawn accessories. Where do you store all that stuff?
Thanks for the good wishes Wendy 🙂
And, I ask the same thing about the lawn decor – some of it is so big!
So happy to hear that your run went well.
I’ve done less decorating this year.
I gave up Peleton the last time they raised their price. There are many free Peleton workouts. I need to check them out.
Yay for the rally-back run! I didn’t realize it had been that long of a time span for you. I hope all goes well as you seize the C25K !
Such a long time since my last run – I had started to wonder if it would happen! Looking forward to starting C25K – thanks Kim 🙂
Thanks Darlene!
I didn’t realize there were still any free Peloton options – definitely worth checking out if you can.
So glad to see you are restarting running. It is scary to come back but you got this nice and slow. I am out of town for Halloween this year so no candy-maybe that is a good thing!
Yes! Definitely taking it very slow and easy…I’m in no rush, just happy to be running.
I’m so happy to hear your first run back went great! That is awesome! I really need to take the bull by the horns and make a decision already as I’m always working around my bum hip. It’s to stop the madness already. Other than a selection of pumpkins and gourds and one skeleton skull, I’m got no Halloween decor either.
Ugh I’m so sorry that you’re still dealing with hip issues. I know the hassle of trying to always work around it all too well. Hang in there!
I love Halloween but I was so sad that we missed passing out candy. It certainly saved us a whole heck of a lot of money (candy was soooo expensive), but Halloween is such a favorite of mine.
If you still love your bike, keep on riding! I think movement has to come in forms you love!
The candy prices were just wild this year! We did end up getting a lot of kids which was fun.
I’m so glad your run went well. I totally get the apprehension. Just take it easy and build back with confidence!
The Peloton membership is definitely a bargain for two users, Even for one it’s still cheaper than other options I have, like OTF.
Thanks Coco – slow and steady is definitely going to be my motto.
I agree that Peloton is still cheaper than a lot of other options – and I admit at this point I’m addicted to the convenience of being able to workout at home.
