‘Fessing it up for August

 

…and just like that, it’s time to hit the ‘fessional.

You know the drill, a few ‘fessions released, exposed, and shared does us well. Besides, there’s no sense in keeping all this stuff to myself, LOL.

So, here’s what needs disclosing for August…

First off, where-oh-where did my summer go? Good grief, it seems like the solstice was a mere 20 minutes ago. Just this week, I was out for a post-dinner walk, and was chasing daylight by the time I made it back home. How did that happen? I gotta summerfess, I’m in denial at what’s coming in the next few months…

I need to footwearfess that I had a recent rather awkward sandal fail. On a recent lunchtime walk, through the elaborate downtown skywalk in Des Moines, my fancy “fashion-before-function” sandals suffered a broken strap in the final stretch of a 2-mile walk! Thankfully, I found some super glue to remedy the situation for the afternoon, but UGH! Walking barefoot through the skywalk, for that final stretch, was kind of icky!

Speaking of the Des Moines skywalk, I’ll walkfess that it’s my new lunchtime routine. Why? Because I have a new job in a much better location! I’ve been at this new gig for a month now, and am loving every minute of it! I’ve already discovered how popular skywalk walking is. I’m loving that as well. While I miss being outside, I don’t have any traffic to fight nor is there any humidity wreaking havoc on my hair. It’s a major triple win.

I am still making the daily #OptOutside streak a priority. I get out for a lot of early morning walks (on my non-running days), and I walk a lot after I get home. That being said, I’m embarrassed to vestfess that I keep forgetting to wear my weighted vest for most of these walks. Yeah, #FacePalm!

Lastly, I learned what happens when you pause the Garmin and resume it after changing locations. This happened on my Wednesday morning run this week. There was a tiny bit of rain, the other two gals didn’t feel like running a fifth mile, and my mojo was waivering. I decided to pause the run (after finishing the fourth mile) and resume it upon driving back to my house. Although Garmin paused the “run,” it kept tracking my movement, LOL. Let me Garminfess, it was an interesting little discovery seeing my “driving” route between Mile-4 and Mile-5.

Okay, that’ll have to do for now. The August ‘fessions have cleansed my soul and both of my soles. I’m ready (sort of) for September to enter the scene. 

You’ve heard my ‘fessions…do you have any to share?
