Well somehow it is July already! In some ways I feel like it's hard to believe we are halfway through 2021. But I also feel like it's been summer for MONTHS already, so how can it only be the beginning of July? As usual, it's time to start out the month with some coffee. Since there has been a heat wave I'll be enjoying mine iced.

Halfway Through 2021 Runfessions

June 25, 2021view the post

This has been an interesting month as I've navigated running during the Brood X cicada invasion which happens every 17 years. While I am not a fan of cicadas, they are harmless so I have continued to run while they have been around. I've learned that there are other periodic cicadas that will be out in the coming years, although I'm not sure if it will be as bad as this. Here is what you need to know for continuing to run when the periodical cicadas invade.

How are we 4 days into June already! May really flew by, although it was a challenging month. Of course now as the weather improves time starts to go by faster. I remember thinking that January would never end! Anyway, here we are welcoming June over coffee.

I can't believe Memorial Day is this weekend! It definitely snuck up on me this year. With everything that's been going on this month I could use a long weekend. Before spending some extra time (hopefully) relaxing, its probably a good idea to share some runfessions of the unofficial start of summer.

Last weekend I ran a virtual relay race as part of the Pittsburg Marathon. I'm not writing a race recap, but I did want to share a few race reflections! What better time to do that than over a warm cup of (strong) coffee? I have a few other things to share as well.

It’s the end of the month again which means it's time for runfessions of April 2021! This was a weird month for me, and thinking back on past years April is usually a struggle. Let's jump right in and get to the most recent running confessions.
