Yes, I am painfully aware that summer doesn’t actually end until mid September, but I’m done with it and welcoming all with both (sweaty) hands. It’s hot, I’ve had my fill of it, and I’m ready to move on to pumpkins and spooky season.

For this month’s trip to the runfessional, let’s join up with Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
Let’s Start By Runfessing…
That we may have been influenced to put down a deposit on a Northern Lights cruise! WHAT? Seeing the Northern Lights is (yet another) dream of mine, and we have friends who will be cruising from Norway to England in 2028. We started discussing details, and the next thing I know, Mr PugRunner is on the phone with the cruise line and submitting passport information. It was a really good deal, and we still have time to make a final, final decision, but OMG! The Northern Lights!

Next, I’ll Runfess…
That yes. I am decorating for Halloween and I’m not even sorry about it. We never hMy Next Runfession Is…ave a super crisp fall, so the best I can do is set up the mums and pumpkins that bring me joy. I mean seriously, I can’t even put out real pumpkins because they rot so fast, so I have to make do with the craft ones.We even have tickets to see Practical Magic 2 and reservations at our favorite Halloween pop up bar! Bonus runfession: the boys are taking bets on when my flowers will die.

My Next Runfession Is…
That I have one particular (amazing) client who loves to run up and down his house with any available human. I have literally logged as many as three miles just going along with his flow. He’s such a cool dude, with tons of energy, and it cracks me up how much he needs to keep moving. A tired dog is a good dog, so I am always happy to oblige!

I Runfess…
That I did almost zero yoga at Puppies & Yoga. I regret nothing. But puppies are not necessarily conducive to a great flow. I had an absolute blast and would do it again in a heartbeat, but I do find myself wishing for a deeper stretch!

Finally, I Would Runfess…
That these last few weeks have been hard, but A is doing great. He started classes and work, and really seems to be thriving. Am I still sad and missing him? Of course! But it’s easier when you know things are going well. He even sent me a first day of school photo!

Do you have anything to runfess? Are you a Halloween person or holding on to summer?
