I almost forgot that today was the March Runfessions day! I could not let that slip by without joining in to share my own March Runfessions. The last few weeks have had a few ups and downs for sure. Let’s get right to it shall we?
March Runfessions
I Runfess….
I was a little worried this week that my Cherry Blossom race (April 8th) was in jeopardy. After making it through my training program without any injuries at all, I bent down to pick up something the wrong way and tweaked my back. Ugh! How much does it suck to hurt yourself doing something non-running? After 2 massages, lots of ice and heat and some rest, it seems to be easing up a bit. Fingers crossed I will be okay next weekend for the race.
I Runfess…
Just looked ahead at my race schedule and realized that my first triathlon race is in 5 weeks. I’ve been so focused on Cherry Blossom training that I have not biked at all. Oops! I guess I will worry about that next week. I could use something new to stress about for sure.
I Runfess…
I am just overflowing with happiness that my daughter decided to come home last minute for Spring Break this week. Having both of my kids home with us this week is the best gift I could ever ask for. In a few short months, we will be empty nesters. I am savoring all the family time I can until then.
I Runfess…
Spring seems to have sprung at last this week. I had just about had it with winter. Now how long should we wait until we start complaining about the humidity again?
What do you have for March Runfessions? Ever hurt yourself doing something non running that impacted your running?
Hope everyone has a happy and family filled Passover and Easter this weekend. Mark your calendars for the Ultimate Coffee Date link up next Saturday the 7th with me and Coco
Linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and fitness

I hate when I do something to hurt myself when I’m not even running! The worst for me was when I was cleaning a sliding shower door in my old apartment and it came of the track and fell on my foot. Luckily it wasn’t broken but I did have to take some time off from running!
Hope you have a good time with your family this week!
oh yes that would really be awful! I am feeling better already
Glad your back is feeling better. Back pain is the worst!
Have a wonderful weekend!
It is you never realize it until it hurts
One time I passed out and got a concussion so I couldn’t run. A ridiculous injury that I felt silly telling people. I’m glad your back is starting to feel better!
Oh wow hat does not sound good!
What started off to be a cool week, ended up being very nice. I hope the nicer weather is here to stay. I will take heat and humidity any day over cold and wind.
Looks like it is still going to be chilly for this week but the heat and humidity will be here soon enough
I hope your back is well recovered! I had a client who was going to be doing her first half marathon in over a year and 4 days before had a major osteoarthritis flare in her knee. I was gutted for her! We hopefully will get our take two in 2 weeks!
I am also so jealous of your cherry blossoms. They are my favorite!
Thanks it seems to be almost all better now. It’s so frustrating to hurt yourself doing something silly. Good luck to your client on her race too
That’s so great that your daughter came home for Spring Break!
Oh no – so sorry to hear about your back! Isn’t it crazy how we can injure ourselves doing the most simple tasks?!
I was so annoyed at myself but it seems to be healing quickly thankfully
I hope your back is feeling better! Enjoy the time with your kids!
Thanks my back is feeling better already and yes I am savoring the time with them for sure
How nice that your daughter is in town! Enjoy your family time.
Yes it’s just fabulous to have her home
Once I sprained my ankle on a free fall – it turned into a grade 2 sprain, and I barely got better in time for my first Dopey Challenge! Talk about impacting a big race…I was so freaked out. Luckily I healed just in time (just lost a ton of training time in the process lol)
I know it’s crazy how that happens!
How nice to have both of your kiddos home! My kids are 6 and 8 and I already think about how strange it will be when they leave for college/work/their own life!
I hope your back continues to improve. My sister has completely thrown her back out just from reaching over to pick up an empty laundy basket!
Thanks I am enjoying having them both at home together. They grow up so fast! My back is already much better thanks and have a great weekend
Happy Easter! Enjoy your time with your family 🙂
Thanks it has been great to have them both here!
Better get on that bike Deborah, LOL. Enjoy the time with your family and have a great weekend!
lol I actually ended up jumping on it yesterday for a quick ride. Yep lots of work to do 🙂
Aw I’m glad your kiddos came home! 🙂 I’m looking forward to my “springtime weather” run today. The temps say it’s in the mid 50s. I think that calls for shorts AND short sleeves!
Sounds like perfect running temps to me! Enjoy
Yay for kids at home! And I hope your back continues to improve.
It’s been fantastic to have them home! My back is feeling better already thanks!
Hope your back is better soon! It’s always the little things, isn’t it?
It is feeling a lot better already thanks!
It is so great that your daughter made it home! Our son just got in about an hour ago for the weekend. it’s the hubby’s birthday on Sunday (yes, April Fool’s Day AND Easter as well), so it will be nice to have most of us in the same house. I hope your back feels better!!
It will be fabulous for you all to be together enjoy your family time!
Oh, no! I hope your back is better ASAP! My ankle is still tender to the touch, but luckily it doesn’t hurt to walk/run/bike. Enjoy your daughter being home!!
It’s feeling a lot better already thanks! happy Easter
I’ve hurt myself doing absolutely nothing plenty of times. I’m glad your back is feeling better. Not fun. That’s awesome you’ll have your family together for Passover. My oldest has one more year before she heads to college and I feel like our days are numbered. Sigh.
Time seems to be flying by right now. Trying to hold on as tightly as possible!
Ugh I hate it when I hurt myself doing something non-run related! Hope your back feels better quickly. Enjoy your time with your family!
I know! It’s feeling better already thanks Michelle!
