Seriously where has July gone? The last Friday of the month means one thing: Time for another edition of Runfessions. Where you spill your run- gym, swim- heck all confessions are fair game, and link them up right here so you can start fresh next month. Let’s get busy shall we?
1. I ran into my Sports Doc at the pool. He’s a great guy, truly….he can apply electric shock to my piriformis but I don’t need to see him with his shirt off. So I did what any crazy runner patient would do and slunk around “not seeing” him.
2. Lately after my runs I notice an especially bad smell. Like an old-sock odor emanates from my arm. It took the Caveman to ask me when was the last time I washed my iPhone armband. Um….not since NYCM last November?
3. I dragged these home the other day. When Thing 2 asked for one, I told her they had a core filled with a blend of almonds, walnuts and pistachios so she’d go away. She did.
4. Remember how I told you the Caveman likes to dip into my cache of running fuel? Seriously who uses GU for strength training? Well turnabout is fair play. I’ve been pilfering from his stash of Kind Bars.
Triathlon timing chip? Or prison tracking strap? You be the judge.
5. Lately I’ve been swimming almost every day. When I take the kids to the pool, I hit up the swim lanes for a little practice, even though I still suck royally. Yesterday the woman getting into the lane next to me had an ankle thing on. Me, like an idiot pointed to said ankle thing and said to her “did you do a triathlon?” She looks at me, bewildered, and goes “no, it’s a tracking device. I just got out of prison.” Well alrighty then. Who knew ex-cons hang out at the pool?
There! I feel better already. Now it’s your turn: Spill your runfessions in the comments or link them up below. I promise you’ll feel better!
I’m linking up with Courtney, Mar and Cyn for the Friday Five.
That is pretty random about the tracking device!! I would have probably thought the same thing as you.
And my arm band used to smell so bad (I carry my phone in my belt now) and it was one of those things I always forgot to wash.
The prisoner story made me spit out my coffee! LOL! Did you scurry away?
Oooh, I like the Kind bars. Don’t blame you for stealing those. And hahaha about the ankle device…I probably would have made the same assumption about a triathlon.
I have tried this ankle device, makes me very uncomfortable in the pool.
Too funny my gyno and my dentist go to my gym and I really don’t care to see them there either!
No way!! That prison anklet story is amazing! And your story about your PT reminds me of a story one of my friends told me, that she saw her therapist “in the wild”, panicked about how to greet him and ending up giving him a hug and kiss on the cheek! Hahaha
Oh and PS thank you for already linking me up! 🙂
Ha ha ha ha on #5! Garmin vs. prison tracker.
I’m guessing you are a bit too hard on yourself in regards to swimming…with all the hours you put in I am sure you are a great swimmer! <3
LOL I’ve had that happen with my spibelt and my water bottle (it has a pocket) and you smell something can’t quite pinpoint where it’s coming from but it’s most definitely there! And #5??? really that’s fantastic! Love your runfessions, I need them on Monday mornings please 😉
My armband has been reeking lately as well. Its time for me to either wash it or just get a new one altogether.
Giggling hard at the just out of prison story. Funny! I just washed my armband the other day. Fortunately I was the one who noticed how stinky it was 🙂
LOL to the lady in the pool! That is too funny! Those ice cream bars are the best 🙂
That is absolutely crazy about the tracking device! I would have had absolutely zero response for that.
I wash my arm pocket every couple of weeks. They get super sweaty.
I don’t know why but I seriously love the triathlon prison convo. Love.
OMG, I would totally have made the same comment about the ankle device, too. AWKWARD!!!
LOL about the ice cream bars!!! So clever!!!
I have done the “I don’t see you” slink many, many times. =D
Is that prison thing true?! Totally something that would happen to me!
I don’t know whether to laugh or shake my head at the prison tracking tool. Oh my.
HAHA just LOLed about the prisoner. Ok, prison isn’t something to laugh about, but we runners and triathletes get so excited when we meet other runners and triathletes. Maybe she’ll do a triathlon one day and she’ll understand haha
Funny! yes house arrest is a big thing here and they were ankle bracelets, I would have guessed that first! 🙂 I would not want to see my doctor outside of the office either- I would have dodged him too!
Too funny about the ankle tracker! I love my doctors but I don’t think I want to see them at the pool either. It’s kind of like when my students see me out shopping… LOL
Oh no you didn’t say that to the ex-con! LOL! Wonder what she told her friends?
Thanks for providing the linkup. Of course, I made it a group effort again and recruited the help of my Cruiser running friends!
LMAO…just got out of prison. Oh my. *Breathe* I would have been so slinking around if my doctor was shirtless at the pool. Because she’s a woman…wouldn’t THAT be awkward?
I legit LOL’d at the prison comment!! Hahahaha. Have a great weekend!
Doctors should have their own private facility to swim in so there is never that uncomfortable moment when you have to see them shirtless. It’s just too weird.
That is hilarious! Orange is the New Black in real life, huh? Have a wonderful weekend!
Love this post! And that’s too funny about your doctor, I do that anytime I see people I know in Target!! And yes those timing chips totally look like prison bands.
The ankle tracker story is priceless! No real runfessions here – running’s leaving me feeling a little meh these days.
OMG! I am LOL at the ankle monitor! Glad to hear she is doing something healthy now that she’s out ….
Those Magnum bars are amazing. I would totally lie to my kids about them too!!
Haha! These are great. Thanks for giving me a chuckle at work 😉 If I had children vying for my Magnum bars I would totally be telling them they were filled with things they didn’t like too!
Not a whole lot of run-fessions this evening – I’ve been avoiding the pool even though I have a triathlon in September. Does that count?? Haha
I’ll go for the ice cream bars! I can’t believe you were in Italy recently, you must come to Sicily next time!
Hah– the reason I run is that I CAN’T swim. I don’t bike either but I do like to take spin every now and then but swimming forget it! If I go to the pool you can find me with the kids or on a chair (my favorite place)
Loving this summer weather that we FINALLY have and SOOO sad it’s august 🙁
Yum.. Magnums… I have never tried one (yet) but they catch my eye every time I walk by it 🙂
No runfessions but I confess that I love KIND bars 🙂
