Little Miss Runfessions

Didn't it seem like July just flew by? It's been a fun, busy month for me. Here we are, on the last Friday of the month, meeting to share our runfessions. I'm always grateful to Marcia for opening the runfessional every month and letting us cleanse our soles and our souls. As usual, I have a few things to share.

Can I just kick it off by runfessing how much I love these Little Miss and Little Mr memes? 

As many of you know, I've been taping my knee since that fall on the trails a few weeks ago. Old lady falling...it's a tale as old as time and oops! I did it again this week. Anyway, I runfess... that when I removed the Rock tape I had been using to change it, I realized that I had the most interesting tan line! Hopefully with the McConnell taping that my PT is using, things will even out. This one is as bad as the sock or watch tan line that we runners get.

I was running on the bike path a few weeks ago when I was stopped by a walker who asked me if taping my knee 'really worked'. I runfess that I wanted to respond by telling her no, I just think it looks cool, but instead, I told her it was helpful but that it has to be applied correctly. And by the way, thanks for stopping me in the middle of my run.

The Rock Tape worked well enough to get me to
the fastest 5k I've run in a long time and an AG award.

I runfess... that as much as I dislike Reels, I finally gave in and started posting some on IG. With the changes to IG, my views were way down. IG really likes Reels and pushes them out. It really bothers me, but sometimes you have to play the game, I guess. Meanwhile, the Kardashians are complaining. Stay tuned.

On the street art running tour, I took with Erica earlier this month, she took many pictures and videos of us running and looking at the beautiful murals. I runfess... that during one video, I asked a woman who was pushing a stroller if she wanted to join us. She happily obliged! And once again, can I say what an amazing experience this was?

I runfess... that on my most recent visit to see Holly, my running shoes didn't leave my suitcase. Normally we plan a race or at least a run. But this time, we spent all our time on the water. I don't think I've ever skied so much. I hate to admit it, but I didn't miss running at all. I'll share more of my trip on this week's rundown.

Would you trade this for a run in the Alabama heat?

What do you have to runfess? Do you like the Little Miss memes? Has your IG changed and if so, how do you feel about it? Reels--yes or no? How are you dealing with the heat this summer?

I'm linking up with Marcia for Runfessions and with the ladies of Fit Five Friday: Darlene, Michelle, Jenn, and Zenaida.
