The end of another month means it’s time to join Marcia for the March Runfessions. What a fun way to spill what’s been going on all month. So let’s get right to it shall we?!
March Runfessions
I Runfess…I have not been doing very much running lately and I am okay with that. My current Tri training plan has me doing much more biking and swimming right now and less running. I am currently running 2x week. Hoping this will keep the PF from flaring up again.
I Runfess…I am really enjoying the biking quite a bit. I am feeling much more confident out there. In fact, remember I mentioned trying to summon up the courage to join in on a hilly group ride? Well, I did it! I don’t know why I was so afraid. It was not nearly as scary as I had imagined. The ride was very hilly and challenging but I did it. I swear I am my own worst enemy sometimes!
I Runfess…I have always shaved my legs daily but lately I just really don’t feel like all the time. I made an appointment for a bikini wax next week so I have to grow that all out and well that is not so pretty. Not sure what I am going to do in swim class today! I am going to have to wrap up in my towel and then quickly jump in without anyone noticing. Perhaps TMI? These are the things I worry about!
I Runfess…I have really been slacking on my yoga this month. I love how I feel after class but honestly why is it so hard to get there? I have it on the plan for Sunday morning.
I Runfess…I am so looking forward to warmer temps and wearing all of my Skirt Sports skirts but I am also loving that my favorite capri pants just got an update. Yes my favorite capris now have 2 large pockets on the legs to carry my phone or my keys. Genius! Just when I thought they couldn’t get any better the “Pocketopia” is carrying me right through spring. Now to the giveaway part! Skirt Sports is generously giving one of you a pair of the amazing new Pocketopia Capri as well. Enter the rafflecopter below for your chance to win. I know you will love them as much as I do!

Linking up with
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
In the winter I shave my legs a few times a week. In the summer its just about every day. I used to be able to get away with doing it less often because my hair is pretty light, but over the past couple of years I have started to feel like its become more noticeable.
Deborah Brooks says
I know I think it grows faster now too!
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
You know that I love my pockets! I would love something to put that darn phone in!
I am going to CONfess that I often don’t shave my legs–the benefits of light hair 😀 have a great weekend Deborah!
Deborah Brooks says
The pockets are great for phones I just love the new style thanks for entering.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
In the summer I shave daily, in the winter every other day. I hate the feeling of hair on my legs! But a wax? I’ve never done it. I’m scared. Plus that whole growing out thing.
Deborah Brooks says
The whole waxing thing is a dilemma for sure. I hope I can make it another week without shaving and that no one notices 🙂
Kimberly says
I runfess that I slacked on yoga this month too! Hoping to get back to it in April 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Yes let’s both do it!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I shave my legs when I shower and that’s not every day. And I have never had a wax. Ever. I guess I’m just a natural sort of girl!
Love my pocketopia capris. These need to happen in more prints.
Deborah Brooks says
I know! I am hoping they offer some more prints for fall. It was so mild this year that I wore capri on most of runs all winter
Marcia says
Haha! I shave them when they need it. In summer that’s daily. Now? Not so much. I’d put my phone in that pocket!
Deborah Brooks says
The pockets are fabulous thanks for entering
Nicole says
Hate. Shaving. My. Legs. But now that the weather is warming up, I usually do every 2 weeks.
Happy Friday!!!
Deborah Brooks says
Every 2 weeks wow! Mine grows way too fast for that
Nicole says
Ha I definitely meant to say every 2 days. Thanks for nothing, Friday brain
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha I was impressed!
Coco says
I definitely am my own worst enemy when it comes to the bike. Maybe I can do that ride next weekend? Would love to tomorrow but making myself save my legs for Hains Point!
Deborah Brooks says
I would not recommend it before CB 🙂 Hope you join me next week it’s tough but doable for sure
John @ run. geek. run(disney) says
I don’t really have any runfession for shaving my legs since it’s never 😉 but I will runfess that I haven’t been running as much as I should be. I maybe get 2x per week, but it’s not because I’m doing other workouts. I should still be good enough for the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run this Sunday though (I hope).
Deborah Brooks says
Hope you have a great time this weekend.I am not running it this year
HoHo Runs says
I try the shave my legs every day but lately I’ve been crunched for time and that’s the first the to go! You know, I’ve never had a bikini wax? It’s good to hear you are enjoying your bike outdoors AND on hills. I probably would put a GU or two in one pocket and my phone in the other pocket of those capris.
[email protected] says
I runfess that my behind is really sore from one one 12 mile bike ride last weekend, and that if I’m going to start biking more, I need to buy a bike seat cushion asap.
Deborah Brooks says
Having the right seat makes a huge difference! Having said that, my butt is a little sore at the start of each season
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
I would keep my running fuel in the pockets.
Deborah Brooks says
Great idea thanks for entering!
Chaitali says
Congrats on getting up the courage to join that hilly bike ride! I’m glad to hear it worked out so well 🙂 Things really are so much worse in our imagination sometimes.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and definitely
Rachel says
OMG Deb, you’ve got me rolling over here. Hahaha! Just duck and cover with the towel. No one will notice. Lol!
Deborah Brooks says
I made it through without anyone noticing 🙂
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
Hahaha I love your runfessions! I have a race tomorrow and I don’t have anything nearly as cute as a skirt to wear! haha
Deborah Brooks says
Good luck tomorrow have a great time!
Darlene says
It depends – in the winter not very often. In the summer, every other day.
I would put my phone & car keys. For long runs, gu.
Deborah Brooks says
I usually do everyday bc I wear shorts at the gym but so not in the mood this week
Elle says
Love your pics and so glad you are enjoying the biking so much!
Deborah Brooks says
I am right now thanks!
Lesley says
Now that we’re moving into spring, I do have shave my legs more often. I get away with it during the winter.
Deborah Brooks says
It’s really a pain huh!
steph says
at 34 weeks pregnant, I’ve been doing more walking than running…so I tend to carry a key, my phone and poop bags 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
That works too! Homestretch with the baby 🙂
Katie Shepherd says
Awesome job on joining in for the group bike ride! And I runfess I don’t shave my legs but every couple of days or so lol!
Deborah Brooks says
I wish I could get away with that!
Megan @ Meg Go Run says
I am impressed that you normally shave your legs every day! I am guilty of going quite a long time in the winter. BUT I do keep my bikini area shaved always because it is just the only way I am comfortable! Sorry if that is TMI, but we’re all friends here, right!?!
Deborah Brooks says
Well of course we are! I always keep it shaved as well but since my bikini wax is next week it’s not looking so pretty right now 🙂
Emily says
Such a fun giveaway! I love your confessions haha
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Gina says
Lol! Shaving??? What’s that? You are one ambitious girl for shaving everyday. 😉 and bikini wax. You’re brave! Very very brave. I can’t even get my eyebrows waxed without whining.
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha eyebrows are nothing!
Carmy says
I’m looking forward to skirt weather too!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it would be nice to start complaining about the heat for a while
Mary Beth Jackson says
LOL! I think every other day! but a bikini wax? That thought scares the life out of me! You should do a blog post of that and tell us the real truth! 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Oh my! Maybe I should just live stream it LOL
GiGi Eats says
I RUNFESS that leg shaving = NO THANKS! hahahahahahahahaha! Maybe once every 2 weeks? hahahahahaha! To be fair, I have very blond hair, and my leg hair doesn’t grow very long or fast so… I can get away with it!
Deborah Brooks says
You are very lucky on that front!
Meranda@Fairytalesandfitness says
I always wore skirts to race in because of the handy pockets. I do wish more pants had pockets in them. I’d keep my phone in it.
Deborah Brooks says
I wish more pants had pockets too so useful
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
I’m lucky that very little hair grows on my legs so I can get away with not needing to shave them much in the winter. That will change once skirt weather finally makes an appearance!
Deborah Brooks says
I hope that skirt weather arrives soon!
abbey sharp says
In the winter far less that in the warmer months!!!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes me too! This week I do not want to do it at all!
Kristen M says
I’d easily fill the four pockets with a house key, ID, sunscreen wipe, and phone.
Deborah Brooks says
That definitely works!
Anna @ Pipers Run says
I shave far less in the winter, I guess I just done care as much! Though if I was swimming often, I’d be shaving often 😉
I’d love a pocket for my phone that keep it in place.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it’s the swimming!
Akaleistar says
The Pocketopia Capri is so cute! I’d probably put my phone in the pocket 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
It fits perfectly! Thanks for entering
Kimberly Hatting says
Those capri’s look damn cute! Not sure I’d put anything in the pockets….fearful of looking too “wide” LOL And the shaving thing? Honestly, I’m doing exceptional if I shave the legs once a week in the winter…my leg hair seems to be not growing much these days (?) and no one is gonna be close enough to see it anyways.
Deborah Brooks says
I would prob look like an ape of some sort if I went that long. Sometimes I am just not in the mood to shave 🙂
Teresa says
You’re killing me with that bikini wax deal! I usually shave my legs every other day but mainly out of habit. The older I get, the slower it grows. I could probably go a little longer without the hubs complaining 🙂
Great job stepping out of that comfort zone with the group ride. Why is it so hard to do that?? I’m struggling with it myself right now.
Deborah Brooks says
I don’t know why it’s so hard but afterwards I am always glad I did!
Jessica says
Those capris are so cute! I love the fact that there’s a pocket, I would use that for my phone instead of a running belt. I kind of hate running belts 😉
Also, I hardly ever shave my legs! Maybe once or twice week in the summer, winter…almost never! I was worried I was going to clog the shower drain the last time I shaved my legs 😉
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha too funny glad I am not the only one! Thanks for stopping by today
Madhuri says
Those capris are really cute!! I love anything with pockets. I have dark hair… so pretty pretty often!
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha same here! The capri are great thanks for entering the giveaway
Michelle B. says
I totally shave all winter long. Mostly because I work out all winter long in a gym and don’t want to be hairy there. The only time I skimp on the shaving is when my husband is gone. I think those capris would be awesome because I run with my pups and always need places to stash their bags.
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha on the shaving it’s such a chore sometimes but I also like to wear shorts in the winter at the gym so gotta do it!
Jeffrey says
My wife is training for a full marathon and I think she would carry fuel with her in the pockets. It will be her second full, she did one in 2013. She is much more prepared this time, I’m guessing a 20 minute PR!
Deborah Brooks says
Wow that’s fantastic! Thanks for entering for her
Esther says
Great post! Just jump on in! No one should notice or care!
I actually don’t really ever shave…I did laser hair removal 6 years ago and it has been awesome! Money well spent!
Deborah Brooks says
I was thinking about that too maybe I should do it
Annmarie says
LOVE capris with pockets!!! I would definitely put my phone and fuel in there! 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
they are fabulous capris thanks for entering
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I love all the biking you’ve been doing. I’ve been biking to work (so more leisure than fitness), but it’s been lovely! Those capris sound awesome. I have my fingers crossed to win!
Deborah Brooks says
I am really enjoying the biking a lot right now. Thanks for entering
Emily says
Congratulate on successfully completing the first ride with your group, you did great. I’ve never had a wax because I’m too afraid of the pain.
Deborah Brooks says
will let you know how it goes!
Toni says
I hate shaving and now that I live in Florida it had to be daily. I recently started laser so I wont have to shave anymore. I would put fuel in my pockets.
Deborah Brooks says
I am thinking about the laser myself!
Hannah says
In winter I pretty much only shave when the hair starts to bother me – probably every week or two. Summer probably every other day – but I confess I sometimes “cheat” and only shave knees down…that hair seems to grow faster for some reason?!
I put everything in my pockets when I run. Phone, keys, small water bottle, fuel…
Deborah Brooks says
Ooh that’s a great idea!!
Lindsey @ livinglovingrunner says
I would probably put my fuel in that pocket 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Definitely works for that thanks for entering
Nikki Fahey says
Gum, keys I don’t go too far or need to carry much 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
That works too thanks for entering
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
These capris look SUPER cute! I would want to put my cell phone and keys in the opckets!
Deborah Brooks says
They would fit in the pockets for sure
Kimmy Ripley says
I need a place to store my keys.
Deborah Brooks says

Deborah Brooks says

Anita Jude says

Anita Mitchell says

Jill Jackson says
I would put my identification and my ipod in the pockets.
Deborah Brooks says

Kelly Wach says
I would put my Ipod in my pocket for when I am running.. I am horrible at rememebering to shave my legs especially when I have a pedicure scheduled
