a november coffee date

November 4, 2022      21 Comments

I can’t believe we are here in the last two months of 2022. How did this happen?

After reading here, head on over to visit Coco and Deborah, our awesome link-up hosts.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That I am working my butt off at the polls. I had a few 12 hour days this week and will work Election Day on Tuesday. It’s exhausting, but I am so honored to have the opportunity.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That as a result of early voting, I broke my run streak. I was so close to 500 days, but I was also so physically worn out. Am I disappointed in myself? Heck, yes. But I’m starting from Day 1 and getting right back in there.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That this was the weirdest Halloween ever. We had a great time at our party, but Monday was bizarre. A went to trick or treat with a friend with a “costume” he created from his closet. We have no pictures. I walked around with a friend and her three littles, took zero adult beverages and made no fun themed meals. I’m bummed but Mr PugRunner has been unwell and I just didn’t have the energy to do anything.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That we are celebrating 16 years today. Happy anniversary to us.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That I am kicking butt at Planksgiving. I hate planks, but this challenge has me going strong.

What would you share over coffee? Planks or no?

    FOMO. I’m planking too.

    Happy anniversary.

    I voted early. Kudos to you working the polls. Your streak was impressive. Will you start another?

    Little kids are so cute for Halloween but they get older they lose their enthusiasm.

      LOL at your FOMO.

      Yes, I’ll start on Wednesday. I don’t want to stress on Tuesday, when I have to be at the polling place at 6AM.

    I voted early as well and I’m glad to have it checked off my to-do list. Good on you for all your hard work. I’m not quite sure what kids do for Halloween anymore since both of mine are no longer interested and we only got one bunch of kids at the door despite beautiful weather. Happy Anniversary!

      Thank you!

      We didn’t get many kids. I was down for leaving a bowl of candy in the driveway, but Mr PugRunner insisted on manning it. That’s fine.

    Great job on the planking! My Planksgiving gig is going well, too…I added a 30-second Chaturanga to the mix last night (yikes!).

    I voted early to avoid Tuesday’s madness. I think it’s great that you’re working the polls.

    You inspired me to jump on the planksgiving bandwagon.

    Happy Anniversary!

    Not planking this one…I’ll do push-ups but holding planks for a long time really bother my back! Good luck with the challenge.

    Stay safe at the polls!

      Pushups are awful. So are planks, though LOL.

      I’m not too worried. I dealt with a few aggressive people this week, but my home polling place where I will work on Tuesday is fairly low key. I avoid the hot spots like the plague.

    Happy Anniversary! I hope you’re out celebrating.
    I voted this week and I thought about you. Thank you so much for volunteering- those are long, hard days.
    Glad you’re “enjoying” Planksgiving. I know yours is a hard one- I’m just doing regular planks for the month.

      Thank you! We had dinner out, and then spent the night at our high school football game. Just to watch the band 🙂

      As much as I appreciate the love, I do get paid to work as a poll worker. I don’t think I could do it for free.

    Happy anniversary! We hit 20 years on 11/16.

    Thank you for all that you’re doing volunteering! It’s hard work but so necessary!

    You should be so proud of your streak. These things are meant to end but you did well over a YEAR! That’s awesome.

      Much as I would like to say I’m that much of a volunteer, we do get paid as election workers. Not a ton, but it is a trained and paid position.

      And my goal was a year, so I’m happy.

    Bummer on your run streak, but IMHO your voting work is more important. 😉 I’ll be voting in person on Tuesday. I don’t think any of my local elections will be close, but I’m anxious over others.

    Sorry Mr. Pugrunner wasn’t feeling well for Halloween — I hope he was feeling better for your anniversary.

    I’m sorry Mr. Pugrunner wasn’t feeling well & Halloween wasn’t what it’s been.

    Bless you for working the polls.

    And Happy Anniversary!

In flight? You know it! I’m adjusting my schedu In flight? You know it!

I’m adjusting my schedule a little bit. Right now, I just can’t get up as early as I would like, but that’s ok. Things can be shuffled and rearranged.

Additionally, I rescued a big dog this morning with another neighbor. I heard galloping behind me as I was heading home and was almost tackled by a huge doodle-type. Between us, we were able to call the microchip service and get his address and she went to notify the owner. He wasn’t a good walker and he even knocked me down (very slowly and dramatically) while I held him and waited. He is home safe and sound and I’m wondering how many people carry leashes with them on the run just in case this happens. This is my second rescue in a few weeks. It’s becoming a thing.

Any plans this weekend? Any dog rescues while running?

It was a challenge but I got it done.

Anyone else just forging ahead as needed? We’ve got this!

Here’s to the first medal of the year! And here’s to so many more!

Did you race this weekend?

Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside! Peep that frost! Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside!

Peep that frost!

Solid five miles this morning. I just started the strength training plan I won from @kimrunsthemitten so I was a little sore but I think the frosty air was good for my muscles. 

It’s promising to be a pretty day so fingers crossed for more outdoors time!

How are you honoring this day?

It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! We saw @tiger24film, presented by @staugalligatorfarm at the Lewis Auditorium, and it was truly an incredible and thought provoking documentary on the tenuous balance between wild animals in their natural habitat, humans, and the consequences that occur when the two come together. 

There is still plenty of time to check out screenings at three locations this afternoon and evening! Visit https://www.staugfilmfest.com for ticket details!
