Five Friday Confessions

 OK FrIeNdS, I'm fessing up. I'm human (shocker!) and I do not live a perfect life, nor do I have a perfect attitude every moment of every perfect day. I'm linking up with Marcia at Marcia's Healthy Slice  for the Runfessions linkup (go ahead, check out all the other runfessions being disclosed), and I'm airing a little of my own dirty laundry......just to keep it real.

Here's a mere five runfessions, just to whet your appettite....

1- I don't wash my hair everyday. Currently, my hair is at its longest length (since I was in 7th grade), and I'm really loving the many options I have for those days when I don't wish to spend 20 minutes (sometimes longer) blow-drying it. I have gotten pretty clever disguising the "day after" hair with clips, headbands, and messy up-do's. I don't want to be one of those who sports the exact same hairstyle 24/7 for several years at a time anyways.

2-I have a love/hate relationship with running tights. I love how toasty warm they make me feel...but I hate the self-imposed paradox I have on the appropriate way to wear them. I think it looks like something is missing when you wear them on their own. (Really, does anyone wear "street" tights alone, without a skirt -or something- covering their backside?) But, running tights also look awkward with shorts/skirts covering them...so both options leave me questioning my fashion sense. What's a gal to do? I have decided to just go with it, and usually wear them "as is." Maybe doing so makes me look more like a real athlete (a gal can hope)!

 3-There have been times when all of my clean exercise bras have been on the drying rack (down in the laundry room), and I have been too lazy (or in too much of a hurry) to go down the stairs, and traipse to the opposite side of my house...so I have grabbed one out of the (dirty) laundry basket. There. Ahhh, it feels so good to come clean on that (no pun intended).

4-I'm usually a pretty patient and tolerant person, but small town traffic drives me crazy. We have one McDonald's restaurant, and it's really annoying trying to get home at the end of the day and getting stuck on the one busy road in town, behind all the peeps trying to turn into the McDonald's parking lot. And, I try to not be judgemental, but the bulk of said peeps will wait in line for the drive-up (for several minutes) instead of getting out and WALKING into the restaurant......causing the traffic to back up because none of the other peeps can pull into the parking lot (to wait for their turn in the drive-up line) leaving the rest of us at a stand-still. I know, first world problems. I need to let this go.

5-Sometimes, during the first few miles of a race, I find  myself wishing for the race to just be over. As much as I enjoy racing, I don't consider myself a "racer." Quite honestly, sometimes I just don't feel like giving it "my all"  for fear I may not have a decent finish time that will reflect my efforts. Of course, when I run a difficult race, I always learn something from the experience.....but I always seem to forget that little piece of wisdom in the midst of struggle.

So, there you have it. I'm keeping it real and confessing some of my imperfections (please, don't judge).

How about YOU? Anything you'd like to add? Any dirty little secrets you need to get off your chest and share with the cyber world? (I'm listening.....)
