It’s that time again! The last week of the month is the time to “Runfess” all that is running and fitness related and get it all out there. I’ve got lots to share today so let’s get to the May Runfessions. This post is sponsored by Kleenex but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
May Runfessions
May Runfessions…I Runfess…
I have such mixed feelings about the end of our Girls On The Run season every time. I am so happy and proud of all of the girls for their hard work all season. Seeing their huge smiles as they cross the finish line of the 5K race is priceless. It was also so fantastic to see so many dads at the race this year supporting their girls. On the other hand, I admit, I selfishly miss them during our off season. Some of my girls graduate to middle school so I will not have the opportunity to coach them again.
May Runfessions…I Runfess…
I heard a bunch of my favorite bloggers talking about running Rock n Roll Chicago in July and got a serious case of FOMO. I am happy to report that I will be joining them! Yay! I have not been to Chicago in over 20 years and I’ve never run there. I am so excited to meet everyone in person. Who else will I see running in Chicago?
May Runfessions…I Runfess…
On a whim, I just registered for another sprint triathlon tomorrow. Yikes! My next one is not until mid July and I did not want to wait that long in between. I will doing the same course tomorrow as I will be doing in July. Thought it was a great opportunity to have data to compare from the same course. Who else is racing this weekend?

In case you missed my Summer Essentials post earlier this week, I’ve been going through these Kleenex wet wipes like there’s no tomorrow. First all the rain, then all the humidity. They are perfect to quick post run workouts. You can grab yours right here on Amazon
Who else is racing this weekend? Who will I see in Chicago? Mark your calendars for the June Ultimate Coffee Date next Sat, June 2nd.

How exciting that you will be running Chicago! Good luck in your sprint triathlon!
Thanks! I am excited to go to Chicago and meet everyone
Good luck preparing for your upcoming triathlon!
Thanks! Crossing fingers it’s not too hot
You already know that I am absolutely thrilled that you decided to do RnR Chicago 🙂 I can’t wait to meet you IRL!
I know I am beyond excited!!
Oh now I want to do RnR Chicago too! I’ve never been there!
Enjoy your race this weekend! I think it’s a great idea to preview the course this way.
ooh you should come too! It could be an epic blogger meet up
Chicago is gonna be so fun! I’m excited to meet some more of my blogger gal pals in person 😉 Good luck at your tri!
Me too it’s going to be fabulous
So cool that you are going to Chicago! I am sure that will be fun!
I am really excited about it!
Good luck at your race tomorrow! 🙂
Thanks so much!
I haven’t been to Chicago since I was in middle school. I love how RnR has 10k options, but July is such a busy month at work for me, with fiscal year end work to do.
July is my only month with nothing going on. I am so swamped right now!
I runfess that I have definitely signed up for races because of FOMO. I also would have mixed feelings about the end of GOTR when I coached in Milwaukee. One of my runfessions is that I loved having the off time before training stated Berlin training
Yes it’s always nice to have time off between training cycles. I hear Berlin is such a fun race venue
I’m so excited for RnR Chicago this year! So many fun people are running it. Last year it was just me and K Swizz.
Have a great weekend!
ha ha yes it will be loads of fun! Can’t wait to meet everyone in person
How fun to go to Chicago! I’ll be heading to ID in July, so nope, you won’t see me. I am way overdue for a vacation!
Good luck on your Tri! No, I am not racing this weekend. Next weekend . . .
I am way overdue for a vacay as well! We have one in a few weeks w the whole extended family but not sure how relaxing that will be 🙂
I keep reading bloggers that say they are running Rock n Roll Chicago. I really want to run it, but not sure my schedule yet. I may have to sign up last minute.
That would be fun!
Now I’m starting to get RNR Chicago FOMO, lol! I know you all will have a blast, I’ll have to live through you all!
Congrats on another successful year of Girls on the Run…you’re such a great role model for those girls!
Aw thanks I do so enjoy coaching them all
Good luck with your tri tomorrow! Sometimes those are the BEST races!
Thanks! I hope so
The race in Chicago sounds like it will be so much fun 🙂
I think it will be!
I’m still new to Triathlons and sticking to only one (or two) this year, but I’d really love to get to do more in the future, it’s just kind a hard when you have small children!
Also, it’s kind of fun that you’ll meet all those other bloggers in Chicago!
gosh yes it’s harder when you have little children! They are very time consuming
Have an awesome run! Good luck!
thanks so much!
Yay, I’m so happy to hear you’ll be running Chicago too! Looking forward to finally meeting you 🙂
Yes me too-it’s going to be fantastic
You will most definitely be seeing me in Chi! Yay! Now to order up some ideal weather. Have a great tri tomorrow and thanks for linking!
yes that would be great!
Oh, wow, good luck tomorrow! A friend at work just told me she’s doing a sprint tri in Reston next weekend. Yet, I still don’t have FOMO. 😉 When is RNR Chicago? That I ^might^ get FOMO over …..
July 21st you should come!
I runfess I have serious FOMO over Chicago. But I can’t swallow the $110 half marathon entry fee. That’s just insanity. Maybe I can be the cheer squad!
I am doing the 5K and the 10K too hot for a half for me. I think there are some discount codes floating around…
I need some of those Kleenex wet wipes! I use ShowerPills to clean off after a run but these would come in handy for the little wipe downs in between or even for the kids in the car!
Yes they are perfect for that and great for the kids
It has been so rainy! Those kleenex would be super useful right now!
First we had all the rain now we have heat and rain ugh
Those kleenex wet wipes look great to keep on hand! Never know when you’re going to need to clean up, especially with the humid weather these days!
Yes exactly!
And now I have a serious case of FOMO for Chicago RnR!!! I live here but I am working back-to-back 12 hour shifts that weekend :-/
well you may need to call in sick lol. Maybe you will be able to meet for lunch or dinner one of the days
I love reading your runfessions 😉 I didn’t do my usual run today and you’re racing tomorrow. God, I feel so lazy compared to you right now hehe
No don’t feel lazy! Tomorrow is another day 🙂
No races for me this weekend, I had a big one last weekend at IM Chattanooga 70.3! I carried those Kleenex wet wipes with me in my transition bag, I don’t know what I would do without them…So Handy, for so many things!!!
I know you did! Congrats again I cannot imagine doing a 70.3 bc the sprint distance is hard enough for me
Yay for RnR Chicago! I am not planning to run but hope to cheer on the runners.
Great maybe we will get a chance to meet up as well!
How fun to make it out to Chicago for Rock & Roll!
I am really looking forward to it!
