As we close out another July, it’s time to gather at Marcia’s Healthy Slice to share our runfessions and cleanse our souls soles to get a fresh start for August. This July I’ve got some real confessions about things that got me busted.
You also may be joining the Fit Five Friday Link-Up with Darlene, Michelle, Renée, Jenn, and Zenaida.
Busted July Runfessions
I runfess, I finally got busted for turning off some of the lights at my office gym—the manager asked me if the lights are off when I come in or if I am turning them off. I came clean and admitted I turn some off. He said they really all need to be on for safety reasons. I thought about arguing with him—they are so darn bright!—but since dimly lit stairs were a major factor in my mom’s catastrophic fall, he’s probably right.
I runfess I still turn off these lights until someone else comes in …
I runfess that when we decided to give up the Tahoe we’ve had for over 15 years because it needed so many repair$ to pass inspection, the biggest impact on me was losing the fender where I prop my phone to take post-run selfies with Scooby.
On my first run after giving it up, I runfess I was busted trying to use my neighbor’s step instead. A person pulled up to make an Amazon delivery.
Excuse me, ma’am, is this your house?
Uh, no, but I live across the street.
I just have this package ….
We got out of his way 😉
I runfess, I don’t know if anyone got busted, but there was a crazy police presence near my office when I was out running last week. This picture doesn’t capture all the police cars and motorcycles, or the helicopters hovering overhead.
It’s not unusual to see multiple police cars setting up roadblocks for a motorcade, but this seemed different, and although they did stop traffic for a bit, no motorcade ever came through. I didn’t hear about anything in the news, so I guess I’ll never know what was going on.
Speaking of not knowing, I runfess I still don’t know what is going on with my left ITB/hamstring/??? issue. I have been trying to make an appointment with a new sports medicine doctor, but always get voicemail when I remember to call his office. I should give up, but I runfess the possibility of seeing someone conveniently located in Georgetown has me sticking it out.
Have you been busted on the run lately?

I often get busted taking selfies by my neighbors. I am pretty sure they think I am insane 🙂
Ha ha, that’s a funny story about the Amazon guy. I use a convenient fire hydrant to take run photos, and I would be out of luck if that somehow disappeared. Where I REALLY look like a weirdo is taking videos of myself at the gym. I try to pretend like I’m just “checking my form” but really, I’m trying to get a picture for the blog.
I’ve been there with inspection issues (long ago). We took that car to multiple shops & finally found one that would pass it. The issue was the floorboards being so rotted they were afraid of the engine falling out (it never did, but we did get a new car not long after).
We just got handed a rather large auto repair bill, but despite my husband’s grumbling about me pushing him to take it in, it’s a good thing he finally did.
I’m sorry about the lights. 🙁 But yup, probably better safe than sorry (but accidents do have a way of happening!).
I hope you can get an appointment soon on the IT issues!
Luckily the city is so crowded that it’s hard to tell if you’re being busted, curious onlookers or folks wondering if that marks you as a local to ask directions. Glad Scooby was there ready to eat the amazon man if he was nefarious.
We had a crazy motorcade the other day that I so wondered who it was, was Biden level but he wasn’t here
I get busted frequently taking selfies on the college campus. There are just so many lamp posts….
I was busted by a landscaper awhile back. It’s so embarrassing. I feel you on the loss of the Tahoe fender. There was a tree that had a branch I could conveniently set up my phone in…until that branch got pruned off. Haha!
I hope that the gym manager isn’t around in the early mornings when you’re there… as long as you’re alone in the gym, who cares?
Ha, just this morning I was practicing taking selfies while running… after getting 6 photos of the sky I realised I hadn’t changed it to selfie mode. That guy walking his dogs must have thought I’m crazy.
I am constantly busted making either videos or selfies LOL. I’m all over the neighborhood too so I often see the same people over and over, usually walking their dog or themselves (like me), even the Mayor (who lives about 200m from me) catches me making selfies, and waves and smiles. I think people actually know I’m a bit of a nutbag LOL.
I suppose if you are in the gym in the “dark” and you hurt yourself, they could be responsible…
I hope you get your issue sorted out asap!
I laughed. I thought I was the only one who used their car bumper. I sometimes use someone’s mailbox too. When they’re not home of course.
We had lots of fire truckers in front of our neighbors house. No idea why. Heard their basement flooded?
I hate when you can’t get an appt right away. Good luck.
I try really hard to find hidden away places to take my photos. We even joke about how I’ll casually “check my watch” while waiting for cars to pass.
That being said, I was doing a video with coffee a few weeks back, and these two people happened to be in the community pool 30 feet away, staring at me. Oops.
