I’m sort of sad to see June slip away because summer seems to fade fast once July 4th is here. Before we bid June 2019 farewell let’s open up the Runfessional for the Runfession Friday Linkup. Let’s get to it:
What’s better than a Bat Dog that smells like roses?
You know we love our OzzyPup right? I runfess he smells l like roses. No, he really does. I noticed it the other day and so did the Caveman. Then I realized why.
It’s because the kids and I can’t get enough of this Rosewater Rejuvenating Mist from Now Foods. I keep it in the fridge and it’s so darn refreshing. But then we hug Ozzy and the rose aroma transfers onto his fur. Whoops!
Remember my running date with “The Bachelor”?
Blame it on June’s Strawberry Moon, but I runfess lately I’ve gotten invited to gigs that made me go hmmmm. One PR person wanted me to head down to a local TV station to share my favorite martini recipe (I’ve never had a martini in my life). I was supposed to report to hair and makeup at 5:45am for the feature on a 7am news show…oh and it was in Spanish. Then I was invited to attend an Ultimate Fighting Championship and interview some of the fighters. Umm…thanks but…no thanks.
I runfess there was a trainer at the gym the other day, who was training a couple and speaking SO LOUDLY, I’m pretty sure the entire gym was listening to him. For the record, he was so knowledgeable and awesome in the way he explained things, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got new clients. So much better than the trainers that blather on about themselves and their sexual appetites.

I runfess there’s a new kind of rude at the gym. My gym recently got a new piece of equipment called a Nautilus Glute Drive. The other day I waited 40 minutes for two women to finish using it. By using it, I mean take selfies on it. Then I watched another woman drag a weight bench over to the squat rack, set up her camera and go to town with more selfies. At least 10 minutes worth in a busy gym, monopolizing not only the squat rack but a weight bench. I runfess this may be why you almost never see gym selfies from me, unless they’re in my home pain cave.
Ok your turn: What have you to runfess? Are you a gym selfie taker? What’s the weirdest thing you’ve been invited to?
I’m linking up with Meranda and Lacey for the Friday Five.
I also got invited to do a TV session in Spanish. I got a pitch the other day for sex toys (because they think it’s a good fit with my blog… excuse me while I die laughing….)
Ummm, no gym selfies from me, because I don’t go to one LOL Actually, I runfess, the hubby did take a couple pics last month at the CrossFIt place (when we soldiered through the Murph workout), but he was pretty subtle and we weren’t monopolizing any of the equipment. But the selfies happen all over the place, almost everywhere I run. Maybe I need some of the rose water for Max….
Yes, we can meet rude people everywhere expecially in the gym. But I have a different memory: long time ago, 1977, a very famous boxeur, European middleweight champion, Angelo Jacopucci (who unfortunately died one year later after a match against the british Alan Minter), famous to be a braggart (but it was no true because that was a behavior only for the press) came, the day before a match, to the gym where I practiced boxe with other friends. He was very friendly and helpful, but the best happened at the end of the training. When we was waiting to have a shower we said: “please Angelo go ahed, you are the champ, you are busy, you cannot wait”. He replied in a humble and kind way, no “I am in line and I will have the shower when it’s my turn” (this was the real Jacopucci). One minute later a voice from outside: “Angelo the press is here”! Immediately he went out screaming: “I will kill him! He will be k.o. in 3 rounds”! (this was the fake Jacopucci, only for the show business and the press). He was a very special man and athlete.
Definitely some weird invites but you get awesome ones too, so I guess you gotta take the good with the bad & still be flattered, right?
Ozzy could smell of worse things than roses. 🙂
I don’t belong to a gym. I’m actually considering joining one just for the pool . . . ugh, I can’t believe the selfie craze.
C’mon, you know you’re ready to rumble with the UFC crew! Ugh on the gym selfies – seems like the managers need to step in — maybe have special selfie hours. 😉 I only take them if I have the gym to myself, otherwise I feel too silly. June did go by fast! Usually August drags unless I get a vacation.
I don’t use the weight room at the gym because I am too impatient to wait for the equipment. I do Body Pump instead. It’s a good, whole body workout. This whole selfie thing has gotten out of hand. I sometimes take selfies at races (just before/after, not during) and I feel so self-conscious taking them. I always hope no one is watching me! 🙂
Oh your gym stories always make me smile! Makes you appreciate having a home gym I bet. This week I was asked to try out gender neutral underwear-how does that work even? Cute on the rose water mist! Thanks for the linkup and have a nice weekend
The offers I get always amuse me. About 1 in 5 is actually worth considering…
Did you learn anything from the loud trainer? LOL
Those are hysterical gig invites! I wouldn’t know what to share for a martini recipe either lol! And in Spanish no less.
I would’ve been pretty annoyed about the gym selfies. I think a staff member should’ve said something, I know I would have.
Ozzy is super cute! My dogs need some rose water scent!
You definitely get some interesting requests! LOL!
I’m obsessed with that Rosewater Mist too! And trust me my dog could stand to smell like roses 😉 By the way, brilliant idea to keep the mist in the fridge – going to move my bottle there now.
I hate gym selfies… seriously!!
Roses are better than skunk!!
Hope you get some better offers lol
The TV gig would have been fun if it was something relatable to you!
So did you.ask gym selfie lady what her IG handle was?….lol
I too cant believe June is almost over. Where has half of 2019 gone already?
Ha, I had a similar bizarre request from a Spanish station. Um, no gracias! I am one for gym selfies… but I have the common sense to know not to do it when someone is waiting for equipment… and they’re mostly just myself in the mirror alone haha.
Ugh that gym scenario drives me bonkers! That’s when it pays to have gym staff in the floor because they should definitely say something about that, especially when people are waiting to use the machines.
I runfess that I forgot today was the last Friday of the month, so I didn’t do a post – whoops! June has just been too busy but I’ll be back in July!
That’s crazy about the gym selfies! I take selfies, but I’m always so quick and stealthy (I hope!) about it. I would never even dream of monopolizing a piece of equipment in a busy gym to try and get the perfect shot! Yikes!
I’m hoping July will be a little more quiet, but you just never know how things will play out!
I runfess that while on vacation, I totally forgot that I had a post ready to go, but wanted to wait until Wednesday night to make sure I didn’t have anything to add. We were so busy that I didn’t have time to touch my blog all week and just saw it on an open tab while heading to the airport. I hit publish even though I didn’t proof it. LOL
Thanks for the linkup!
Bat Dog <3
Our gym has a sign "less texts, more reps" because I swear sometimes the rests between sets are longer than the reps
That selfie stick meme is hysterical though
Only gym selfie from me is occasional end of treadmill run
