Well friends, 2021 is just about a wrap, but it just wouldn’t be right to ring in the new year until we open the Runfessional one last time. Let’s do that right now.
Now that winter weather is showing up here and there, I’ve had to dig deep for my winter running gear. I runfess I cannot always find what I need and I don’t always remember what I have.
I could’ve sworn I had more pom beanies. Maybe I do….somewhere. Then again I’d completely forgotten I had this hat from the Indy Monumental Marathon. I runfess it’s never been worn. Sigh. I can’t even remember what year I ran that marathon. Sheesh.
I got a new phone a couple of months ago. While of course I love the phone, it was a royal PIA to remember all my passwords and put them all in. I runfess I still have not reconnected my Garmin app, so I basically never look at my stats. It’s probably better that way.
Year end is time to reflect. I’m proud of the fact that I’ve stuck with my YouTube project for over a year now, but I runfess there are some videos that are better suited to a blooper reel. Especially the one where Ozzy insisted on joining me and ended up photobombing me with a butt scoot. Thanks pal!
We all get those obnoxious DMs on Insta from men purportedly looking for sugar babies or to make me rich (or rip me off, who really knows?) with crypto currency I runfess this particular DM made me spit my coffee. Yep, I’m a fineapple.
Happy New Year! Ok your turn: What have you to runfess?
Wendy says
I was telling my family about these sugar daddy messages and my youngest told me he gets sugar mama requests…well, that made me stop in my tracks!!!
Kimberly Hatting says
HA! A fineapple 😉 I’d forgotten about Ozzy’s moment of fame. I shot a planking video (a few years ago) and Max had to cross through the frame not once, but twice. It’s a great thing they’re so cute, right?
Catrina says
Haha, Marcia! Reminds me of “If you were a vegetable, you’d be a cutecumber.” 🙂
Because we have limited space in our apartment, I store my new running shoes in the cellar. This means that I forget how many shoes I really have. Every time I go down there it’s like “oh, I didn’t remember I had these….”

I actually had plans to do a blooper reel this year! I saved clips — or so I thought — apparently I managed to save them in an unusable format. I was sad — there was some good stuff in there. Yelling at Bandit to stop eating something (very un-Yogi), maybe a bit of swearing at being interrupted when I was almost finished (it was a particularly bad day). Oh well, maybe next year.
I mostly know what I have — where it is can often remain a mystery, because of course I have too much stuff! Also very un-Yogic.
Happy New Years & thanks for the linkup Marcia!

Ah yes that Charles has a way with words doesn’t he?! It also begs the question – does this line work for him? I always wonder if there are women who respond to these DMs.
Happy New Year Marcia!
Coco says
LOL, on the fineapple! At least that one made you smile.
I have all my gear organized but tend to wear the exact same things every time. It’s rarelty cold enough here for a full beanie!
Thanks for a great year of Runfessions!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha you fine apple! I do get my share of the suggestive DM’s too but hey I guess it’s better than no attention! I know have more gloves and hats as well but where are they? I thought I was organized. Thanks for the runfessions and happy new year
MCM Mama says
LOL at fineapple! I never get any sugar daddy offers – not sure if I should be happy or insulted. Congrats on the You Tube progress! Happy New Year!
Darlene S Cardillo says
Ha Ha. I hesitate to get a new phone because want to set up all the app and try to remember al the different passwords!
I keep losing winter clothes. especially hats and gloves.
Bring back summer please!
Happy New Year.
Jenny says
Hee hee. Fineapple… that’s a classic.
I’m especially bad with winter gear because it rarely gets cold enough here. On those rare days where it might dip down to the upper 40s at night and I need my hat and gloves, most times I’ll realize that I wore them on a run last year and abandoned them halfway through in the bushes and forgot to ever go back for them. This year I was proactive and bought hat and gloves in the dollar section at Target- I know exactly where they are and am eagerly waiting to pull them out- but we’ve had a really warm December, in the 80s most days. Figures.

I also don’t always remember what I have and I am always in hurry when I have to start my workout because I am lazy and slow. Getting always older……..
Ozzy is a very well refined gentleman!
Happy New Year!
Denise says
I’ve watched many a YouTube video or IG reel where their dog tries to join in. Pets always want to be in the middle of everything. 😂 ❤️ And Ozzy is adorable. Happy New Year Marcia!
Jenn says
Fineapple!
YouTube is a tough medium!
Ozzy is so sweet. I vote we get a reel of all the blogger pets!
Zenaida Arroyo says
Oh, Charles! He is too funny!! My Winter gear is in my closet and easy for me to get. I am not liking this weather. I’d rather it be cold than have snow. Which phone did you get? I got the iPhone on Thursday and so far I like it.
Thelma says
I have that hat :).
It was 2016!!!!!! Good memories at that one!
