June 2025 Runfessions and Confessions
I Runfess and Confess….
In an effort to get in more steps without really trying, I’ve started to walk my errands when possible. We live in the suburbs so I am not really near anywhere to really walk to. What I have been doing is parking “in town” and walking to the post office, dry cleaners etc whenever possible. Sometimes grabbing an iced tea or coffee and often with a friend. I realize people who live in the city do this all the time but it’s not that easy in the suburbs. I was especially proud of myself when I walked 3.5 miles to pick up my car after it was serviced.
I Runfess and Confess…
Like many of you, I suspect, I have a large list of little projects I’d like to complete around the house. I don’t always get around to them. So, when I saw the Washington Post had a one week minimal effort cleaning challenge last week, I opted in. The challenge was emailed daily and involved little tasks that took a short time to complete. I cleaned out my dishwasher filter, replaced a mat in laundry room (instead of cleaning it!), cleaned out crumbs from the cutlery drawer and descaled my coffee maker. This is the kind of cleaning challenge I can get behind!
That’s about all I’ve got to Runfess and Confess today. See you next week for the July Ultimate Coffee Date. I will be enjoying my Cafè with a view.
Great job on the extra walking! It feels good to sneak in a little extra movement while doing other tasks 😉 Total win-win!
That does sound like a doable household project challenge! I do enjoy walking to do as many errands as possible, but like you it’s kind of difficult living in the suburbs.
So great that you managed to boost your step count just by doing errands! I noticed the same thing when we were in Boston in April. It’s surprisingly tricky to get much walking in the suburbs. Nicely done!
Also, I love your cleaning challenge! Those little daily wins really do add up, just like your steps!
