Did we not JUST do runfessions? I swear these months are flying faster and faster. Yes it’s that time again. The runfessional is open and ready for you to share all your deepest, juciest transgressions. Let’s begin, shall we?
I’ve been snotty. There I said it. I’m always ALWAYS kind on the interwebs. Snarky? Sometimes, but not snotty. Until now. I have a habit of posting my runs over on Instagram. You may have seen this one:
Some kind soul took the time to tell me 8×800 was not 7 miles.
I detailed my workout to clarify. But the hashtag may not have been the kindest. #Sorrynotsorry. I blame the taper.
That purple Balega sock I lost oh, what is it? 2 years ago now? Still holding onto it’s widowed mate.
Remember when I whined about my fuel belt and bottles? Many of you suggested I get a hydration pack. Um, I’ve had a Camelback rotting in the basement for over a year now, never used. I have no idea how to even open the darn thing.
I finally took my bike tire in to be fixed. When the guy asked “How do you like the Continentals?” I froze up and lied. Yes I flat out lied and said “Oh I wouldn’t know, this isn’t mine”.
While I waited for my tire I ogled the screaming hot tri bikes in the shop. End of season clearance. I coveted said tri bikes, even though I know nada about tri bikes. Forgive me Blanche, trusty road bike, but my eyes strayed. So did my mind. An emotional affair if you will.
When the guy brought the tire out all fixed up, I stammered and asked him if if he could fit me for a new bike. He told me to come back when “Delfino” was in. Apparently “Delfino” is the resident bike fitter extraordinaire. I was rebuffed. I may have strayed emotionally but let the record show I did not straddle another bike.
Your turn! Spill your runfessions and link them up below! I promise you’ll feel better!
Haha! I sure hope Blanche doesn’t find out that you were looking at another…
I don’t think I’ll be able to jump in this month…I’m currently in Seattle and didn’t finish my post…there’s my runfession!
I have a big runfession on my blog today. Just one.
But I also can’t tell you how many lone socks I have in a pile hoping the other shows up. The problem is that every once in a while a match shows up. It happens just often enough to give me hope the rest will come back. #sockhoarder
The nerve of some people- #einstein was appropriate-i would have probably used a less nice hashtag-lol.
Lol@ not knowing how to use the camelback. . It surely should be so complicated right!?
I refuse to get rid of lost socks. I will just wear non matching socks-lol #ihaveissueslettinggo
Well, I did a workout of 400 repeats that I posted as 200s but I’ve already shared how much I suck at track math. As soon as I toss an unmatched sock, the match magically appears …
Yes, blame the taper! Apparently I’ve been tapering for 3 months. I did use my Camelbak a few times, but after a while the weight of it (when full) felt multiplied in the heat. I’m a guessing @fimis is not a runner. Thanks for Runfessions. It’s a favorite!
Those Balega’s are my fave sock and I seem to lose them too maybe we should match them up!! Screw those people that have time to calculate other people’s run distances. Really? Who does that?
It’s SO hard to toss one sock. the second you do, you’ll find that lost mate. I had bought 3 pairs at once and slowly one would get a hole so I kept repairing them and now I have one pair left with holes but it pains me to toss them. Why? I toss any other sock with holes. And the # confession? Fan-freaking-tastic!!!
Your #einstein hashtag cracked me up 🙂 Really, as Deborah said, who does this?!
I have so many lone socks that on days when I know I’m mostly staying in, I wear the lonely ones together – all mismatched. I live on the wild side, really.
HA! I have so many loner socks. Maybe we should through them a sock social so they can find new mates?
Seriously, this might be your best one yet. So funny! I am cracking up at your response on IG. Don’t mess with women of a certain age, dude, is all I’m saying!
Tri bikes are pretty…
Me too I about spit my coffee out when I read the #einstein hashtag! Too funny! That bike is freaking awesome I can so see why you were thinking of straying! Enjoyed this months runfession! Have a great weekend Marcia!
Runfession number one–that is when you wish you could hit people through the phone with a wet noodle. Like COME ON. I had some great runfessions for you today, and then promptly forgot all of them. I suck
My bike won’t talk to me anymore it’s been so long since I’ve ridden.
The #einstein tag is hilarious.
lol at the stray sock. I hate it when that happens!
You want the GOOD bike fitter! So good job for the mechanic to not fit you just ‘cuz Delfino wasn’t around. Sometimes bikes look good but aren’t right for our individual geometry.
Love the #einstein hashtag. You crack me up Marcia! 🙂 Continentals? What’s that? If I had a bike like the one you pictured, I’d probably ride a lot more.
haha I love the Einstein hashtag! And I totally hang on to loner socks – what if the other one comes back? 😉
“I have a hydration pack rotting in the basement” <—— HAHAHAHA! Funniest thing I read all morning. 🙂
I get snarky on facebook when I drink wine or scotch hehe.
I hate it when I lose a sock! And sometimes it takes a couple of years to find the mate so I don’t think you have anything to runfess there.
I love my taper and I’m officially in it now. Except for those 3-4 miles I still need to run very, very soon (on top of the 5k this morning).
The only thing I don’t like about my taper is cutting back on my carbs. Which I do need to do unless I want a carb baby at my race & I really don’t.
I’m not even a triathlete and that bike is beautiful. I think I would become one for that 😉 Haha, and your comment on Instagram was hilarious…did they respond to that?
Thats pretty funny about the person on instagram. One time I posted a picture with a 5 mile run and described it as a 5k focused speed workout, and someone wanted to clarify that a 5k was 3.1 miles not 5. I guess they meant well??:) You can totally blame the taper for your hashtag!
#Einstein! I love it!!
I’ve lost track of the number of socks that have lost their mate. I swear the dryer loves eating socks!
HA! you are funny! and I am with you- I would never think to sit and calculate those numbers to make sure they add up- seriously, some people, #Einstein was funny- hopefully they laughed but if they took the time to type out a stupid comment like that then I bet not! Oh well, we will laugh at them 🙂 That is kind of a fancy bike! I’m with Wendy, won’t Blanche find out? Happy Sunday! I am back! and talk about snarky people, whew, Italy was full of them!
I dont’ have any runfessions but I loved reading your bike-fession.
Hahahahaha your Instagram response. Gosh I love it!
Love your enstein hashtag!
I just spent five days in your neck of the woods, and loved Chicago – it was my first visit. My son is attending U of Chicago Booth in the MBA program. We had so much fun!
LOL, loyal to the bike, love it 🙂
I can not believe someone from IG posted that?! Now if it was a friend and I knew they were just teasing me, that is one thing (I have a good sense of humor) , but if not, i am just shaking my head friend..
