February is a short month and all and here we are getting ready to welcome in March. While March can be a fierce month weather wise, it always has me thinking of SPRING, because well spring does arrive in March. Yasss! Before I get ahead of myself with spring, let’s open up the Runfessional because it’s always a good idea to cleanse that soul…and those soles.
Thinking of Spring
I told you last month I threw out an F-bomb during one of my YouTube workout videos. Don’t worry I edited it out. That was tame compared to what I did last week. I runfess I got through 2/3 of the workout before I realized the video was not recording. So I had to start over and essentially do the workout almost twice. Go me. I think I’d rather blurt out an F bomb.
I runfess I hadn’t received solicitations from the Beachbody people for quite some time. Then a couple of weeks ago I got a “courtesy” DM from someone I did not know telling me how great I’d be as a BODi Coach. Upon further investigation, I quickly learned that BODi is the new Beachbody. According to the person who contacted me, it’s “so much better”. Oh I’ll bet it is. Too bad I have zero interest in pyramid schemes, just like before. No thank you, I’ll pass.
In my ongoing decluttering adventures I runfess I came across this relic from the past. It was sent to me back in 2011 when I first started using pool running as a way to rehab a running injury. It looks like it houses an iPod Shuffle and simply seals it from the pool water. I runfess I don’t necessarily remember using it but it appears that I did. Ha!

Finally, I runfess that lightning can indeed strike twice, especially when it comes to Peloton. I regaled you with pics when Andy Speer and I were inadvertently twinning, and now it’s happened again. This time I found myself twinning (sort of) with none other than Callie Gullickson. Ha!
Your turn! What have you to runfess? Have you heard from the BODi people?
I’m also linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday.
I had seen some stuff about BODi and thought it suspiciously looked like Beachbody. As much as I loved P90X, I never had any desire to join the company (though many have tried to recruit me). You are too cute in your twinning gear 😉 The question…does your iPod Shuffle still work? Mine died on me (at mile-2 of the MCM, amidst the torrential rain), and I miss it dearly. In all honesty, I have gotten used to doing just fine without it, but it would be nice to have it back in working order…for old times’ sake.
F bombs I guess are not allowed. Lol.
I need to de clutter but I did find a walking boot from my broken ankle 11 years ago.
Good find.
Oh yes, I had a BODi encounter a couple of weeks ago – once I realized it was Beachbody in disguise it was a quick no on my part!
I’ll never forget the time a random woman contacted me–actually called me–and asked me if I wanted to go running with her. When I declined, she escalated the conversation, flattering me and then asking me to be a Beachbody coach. It was so icky and so aggressive! Who does that? I am with you on those multi-level marketing schemes!
I still have an old Sony Walkman but I kind of hate to get rid of it!
Oh, I’ve had to film videos more than once for a variety of reasons — the worst was when I deleted it from the cloud before starting to edit it. Mine tend to be longer than yours, so yes, I definitely felt like crying that day!
Good job getting rid of the old waterproof ipod whatever holder. I think I still have some waterproof headphones — I know the last time I even tried them only one ear worked & I’m sure the other is gone too.
I wasn’t aware that BeachBody had rebranded themselves, and I agree, no thank you on “partnering” with them. I’ve been thinking of doing videos for my Tuesday posts and I could just see myself forgetting to turn the camera on as well.
I do still get requests from beach body and reactive wear quite often. Also the Savvi people are quite aggressive! It’s nice to be in demand lol. Always fun when you match the Peloton instructors 🙂
Just say no to pyramid schemes!
My husband just cleaned out a cabinet with old electronic devices — including two “PDAs” — remember when those were the coolest?
Ha, well you got a good workout that day! At least you were only 2/3 through and not completely finished when you realized you weren’t recording. i love your “twinning” moments. I mean the purple tights and turquoise shoes.. what are the odds?
I have been seeing all the BODI posts and had to look it up. Thank you,next.
Love those purple tights! They are so cute!
Sorry about your filming blunders. That’s so annoying.
Purple tights forever
The beachbody spam is so obnoxious. I have them auto sent to spam, but some still get through. Nope. Also shilling your friends gets old
I haven’t seen the Bodi posts but I’ve seen a ton of “why I quit Beach Body” posts. It’s all very annoying!! I want to ask them what about my “I’ve run every day for 3 years” makes me think I “need” their help!?
I felt like spring last weekend but not so much this AM! 😉
I thought of you yesterday. A woman showed up in Crossfit wearing the most beautiful top. I asked her where she got it from and she said Lululemon. I’m going to get one of those!
Is that your kitchen countertop in the backdrop of your iPod photo?! I love the colour and the soft pattern. So elegant!
