Happy Friday! As usual, since it’s the last Friday of the month, I’m linking up with Marcia from Marcia’s Healthy Slice for Runfessions. Let’s get this party started!
I runfess that February has felt like the longest month ever
I know it’s technically the shortest month of the year but it feels like February has dragged on and on. Maybe it was all the snowy cold weather that made the month seem long? Either way, I feel like every day is 50 hours long. Hopefully March will be much better!
I runfess that I want to reduce my screentime
I have found myself mindlessly scrolling on my phone for a little too long at night. I definitely look at Instagram and Tik Tok as a way to wind down and laugh before going to bed, so I’ll still do that, but it will be for a shorter amount of time.
I runfess that I’m looking forward to running on the Peloton treadmill
While I don’t think it will be delivered on March 12 (the order is still showing as “pending”), I’m still hopeful it will be delivered sometime next month. The belt of the treadmill has slates as opposed to a normal treadmill belt, so I’m curious to see if that change will be easier on my knee.
I runfess that I’ve been sleeping better lately
I definitely don’t want to jinx myself, but I’ve been sleeping better the past few weeks. I still have nights where my sleep isn’t that great but at least that’s not the case every night!
That’s it for this month – thanks for reading my runfessions! I hope that you have a great weekend!
Do you have anything you want to runfess for February?
I’m also linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida for Fit Five Friday!
Wow! A peleton treadmill. That is exciting. I still don’t have a regular one…but I am going to cancel my membership anyway.
I am on the computer ALL day but it is tempting to surf at night too. I go for a walk but still…there’s my phone, my ipad. Remember the time when we had none of this technology.
I’ve been trying to get up from my computer during the day but sometimes it’s hard, especially with back to back meetings. Once the weather gets nice again I plan on trying to do lunchtime walks.
I spend way too much time on my phone scrolling.
If I had to run on a treadmill I would want a Peloton too.
Yeah my scrolling needs to be reduced, that’s for sure!
I am excited for you to get the tread! If I was a treadmill runner at all I totally would get one. The weather was a challenge this month but it always is in February. Yay for better sleep makes a huge difference
I really can’t wait to get the treadmill. I’ve wanted one for about two years lol. I am okay with my current treadmill but I’m ready for a change.
I runfess I’m sleeping much better here in Florida than I was at home. Guess I’d better stay. Haha! I think you’ll like the slats on the Peloton. I’ve only run on a Peloton mill once but our former gym has Woodway mills which have the slats. I need to cutback on mindless screen time too. Ugh.
Maybe the warmer weather helps you sleep better! 🙂
I will be really curious to hear how you like the new ‘mill when it arrives! Since I don’t know how many more runs I have left with Milly, I’m kind of keeping my eyes open to the possibilities out there. February was a dang long “short” month, wasn’t it!
I’ll probably do a blog post after I am able to run on the treadmill for a month or two so I’ll let you know how I enjoy it!
I’m really interested in hearing what you think of the Peloton Tread! I’ve seen a lot of people posting on FB lately about their bikes arriving earlier than expected so hopefully that will be the case with the tread too.
That’s great about the bikes! I’m glad that they seem to have those deliveries back on track.
Oh, yay for better sleep! I wish I could say the same!
I know you are going to love the Peloton treadmill so much! I’m so excited for you!
Sorry to hear that you haven’t been sleeping well 🙁 I hope that it improves soon!
I’ve run on the Woodway TM, which is similar to the Peloton. I think you’ll love it! If I loved the TM, I’d be jealous, but hey… <3
Thanks! I think I will really enjoy it and I can’t wait until it arrives!
I thought February whizzed by, but when I said that to my son he disagreed and said it seemed exceptionally long… go figure. I can’t wait to hear all about your Peloton treadmill!
It’s funny how the shortest month of the year seemed like the longest for me!
Yay on sleeping better! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the Tread. I’m not sure I’m coordinated enough for the knobs. 😛 I’ve had to work every weekend in February so I hope that eases up come March.
I know the knobs will take me a while to get used to – hopefully I can figure it out after a few runs!
Getting that tread is so exciting! Can’t wait to hear what you think about it.
I am obviously not a big social media person, but I still find myself scrolling when I should be getting ready for bed, and then getting to bed a little later than I want. Which is still really, really early LOL — but I also get up early. In fact, my SIL wanted some help with something the other day (she’s on the West coast) & I was like nope, no can do. At 8:30 I was tucked into bed & reading. 🙂
Actually, normally I probably would have gotten up & helped, but she just caught me on a night I was really, really tired.
I really can’t wait to get the treadmill! I think I need to replace my Instagram scrolling with reading – that would be way more productive!
I had no idea Peleton had a treadmill. Wow they are really making their mark on Fitness equipment!
I hope you love it!
Yeah, I’m hoping that they come out with a rower eventually.
So glad you are sleeping better. I was dealing with insomnia a few months ago, but it is much better now. I have been doing some sleep meditations before bed, which really help.
Enjoy that new treadmill!
Glad to hear that you’re no longer dealing with insomnia – I know how brutal that can be!
I know what you mean about February. It has to be because of the weather. Here’s to March being much better! Ugh, I hope you get your treadmill on time.
Yes! Here’s to March being much better, especially with the weather.
I can’t wait to hear what you think of the Peloton tread!
February went by reasonably fast for me, but I’m nervous about March. March is always the longest month of the year for me because I keep expecting it to turn instantly into perfect spring weather. LOL
It was great seeing you this morning! Have a great rest of your weekend.
The weather in March is always so crazy! I hope we don’t get more snow (fingers crossed).
The social media scrolling has gotten out of control for me! I’m interested in seeing what cutting back will do for me, at least before bedtime!
Oh that treadmill looks soo nice, I’m jealous! We have nowhere we can fit a treadmill in our house. I’ll be interested to hear how you like it!
I have been unsuccessful so far this week in limiting my scrolling. It’s just so easy for 5 minutes to turn into an hour, lol
Glad you’ve been sleeping better and yay on the potential Peloton.
You know where I stand on screen time. It’s so good for the soul
i feel like I need to offset the screen time by reading more books – so that there’s a balance.
I was forced into a paper book today when my Kindle was misbehaving. Not being able to touch the screen to look up a word!
I don’t know anything about Kindles but that’s pretty cool that you can touch it to look up a word!
yes. and for me leads to fewer squirrel moments because I don’t then look up the word on my phone and lose an hour on wikipedia.
You just touch the word and one option is define.
