Thanks for popping in to take a peek at my May 2026 Runfessions and Confessions. I’ve got a few big things I’d love to get off of my chest. Thanks to Marcia for hosting. Let’s jump right in!

May 2026 Runfessions and Confessions

I Runfess and Confess…

I’ve pretty much lost interest in Instagram, Yup, I said it. After years of pouring my literal heart and sole (and soul) into my page, I’m tired of it. It takes so much time and effort to really grow and interact with other accounts. When I was on the Brooks Running Team for 4 years, I was more motivated to share my content and connect with the brand and other team members. But what did all of that time and effort really do for me?

For a few years, especially during COVID times, it was fun to make a little side hustle with sponsored posts. Over time, I’ve become much more selective about brands I’d like to work with. I’ve also become very turned off by creators who will post anything just to get paid. 

At least 4 or 5 days a week, I get emails from supplement companies asking me to post about their products. Most are things I’ve never even heard of! I personally do take a number of supplements daily. These are things that my Doctor has suggested to me based on my blood work and health goals. Every body is different and what is appropriate for me, may or may not be for you. So, don’t do what I do. Do what’s best for you and your body.

I guess I have just become so disillusioned with Instagram and simply not as interested in pouring my energies into it. I do love seeing recipes, home decor, travel and fashion inspiration. Maybe I should just be a travel blogger!?

Whew! That were big runfessions and confessions! I’ll have to think of something else to talk about next week at the Ultimate Coffee Date. Tell me how you feel about IG these days? Thanks for reading!
