For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
I runfess…
That I wasn’t supposed to be here this week. We had plans to go to Charleston. Mr PugRunner had a nasty allergy flare-up, and we decided to postpone until he was more comfortable (his sinuses can make him miserable). It was incredibly disappointing, but its would have been an awful time with him not feeling well.
I runfess…
That I am so excited for my hot rock massage. My parents gifted it to me for Christmas, for after the DONNA half marathon. I hate massages, but I love hot rocks, and I am so touched that she asked the spa about the best massage for a runner who hates to be touched. It’s going to be great.
I runfess…
That I am not as excited for 2022 as I usually am for a New Year. It just doesn’t feel that special, for some reason. I can’t imagine why.
I runfess…
That Mr PugRunner got me a weighted blanket for Christmas, and that’s the only place I want to be anymore. I have books, and quiet time, and that’s all I want.
I runfess…
That “we” are having a cudesac party for New Year’s Eve and I am not into it. I bet I’ll be in bed by 10. Between the holiday rush, picking up A from camp, checking on my mom’s cats, and prepping for Mr PugRunner’s birthday, I just don’t have the energy.

I am right there with you on 2022. Let’s just see how things go, amiright?
I hope you all have a nice quiet new years party!
One day at a time, right?
Perhaps your neighborhood party will be more fun than you think. Hope so for you! Enjoy your massage and happy new year
Meh. It was fine. I was in bed by 10:30. I was good with that.
That weighted blanket sounds like the perfect gift!
I so get the lack of enthusiasm for the new year. I am holding out quiet hope that 2022 will be good to all of us.
It’s an amazing gift. I love it so much.
I’m glad it’s not just me. I do do massages!!!
Too bad about our trip. I hope you can re-schedule.
We had tix to a comedy show but it got cancelled. I’m kinda glad. Instead just a quiet dinner with friends.
Happy New Year.
Ha! It’s another of our birthday twin tendencies!
Happy New Year!
** DO NOT do massages lol
Sorry you had to postpone your trip. I hope your husb is feeling better soon!
LOL on finding a massage for someone who doesn’t like to be touched. I enjoy massages, but when I booked a massage and mani and pedi all in a row, that was too much touching.
For NYE we are hosting my SIL for lunch and my Mom, Aunt and Uncle for dinner. They will be gone long before midnight. 😉
He’s doing better. It’s just always this time of year. I’m glad we didn’t go, honestly. It would have been t stressful.
That is WAY too much touching. I’m getting anxious just thinking about it!
Ugh, sorry your trip didn’t happen! You’ve had a tough holiday season, right? I hope you guys can reschedule it soon.
Interesting about the massage! Since I’m a massage therapist I work on people all day who love to be touched- I forget there are people who don’t like it. I definitely want to hear what you think about the hot stone massage. I hope you enjoy it!
It’s not been the best holiday, but… it’s ok. It’s nothing that can’t be put in the past, you know?
I am so uncomfortable during a massage. I hate being in a room with someone and not be able to look at them. It’s just so vulnerable for me. I love that my mom literally went to the spa and was like “my daughter needs this but hates it. What can we do?”
Well, I love massages, LOL. But the hot rocks do sound nice, too. We have a weighted blanket, and it’s very heavy…but feels so good on a cold winter day.
I want a weighted blanket in every room. It’s so comforting.
Happy new year! I am actually looking forward to 2022, but I don’t have my usual “big goals” that I used to have pre-Covid. And I’ll likely be asleep long before midnight…
I was asleep before the ball dropped. The New Year came whether or not I was awake.
I’m sorry you didn’t get to make your trip to Charleston. And I totally get the blah feeling of this time of year. I’m hoping 2022 will be a good reset. I hope you have a restful holiday!
It’s coming, one way or another. I might as well be along for the ride.
That massage sounds lovely! I was also in bed early on New Year’s Eve and that was OK with me. I cannot stay up late anyway. That is a bummer about the Charleston trip but hopefully there will be another opportunity this year.
We will get to go, but so many things happened that made me glad that we didn’t go.
I would love a weighted blanket.
We stayed up on New Years Eve with our daughters and their boyfriends and played cards. It was the first time in years. There may or may not have been shots involved. 😉
I was thinking everyone loves massage……lol
