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?

That cruise sounds fantastic! I can’t wait to hear about it.
I’m can’t imagine puppy yoga would have much yoga, but OMG that puppy is so cute!
Glad A’s semester is off to a good start!
I’m kind of excited but kind of nervous. I guess there’s a free excursion in each port, but they haven’t released the excursions yet because they are still planning. I don’t want to do something paid everywhere, but people are saying that the freebies are just things like a bus tour, and I’m not about that. Then again, it’s going to be dark, and it’s going to be freezing. How am I going to survive on a boat for 12 days? Ugh! So many decisions. But we have friends who love this line and will be on the ship as well, so…. yolo?
AW! You got a first day of school photo!!! I’m glad he’s doing so well. Yes, that definitely. makes the separation easier.
I’m laughing that your Halloween decs are already going up. Well, why not??? Fall/spooky season is the best, we might as well enjoy it as long as possible. That said, the weather is still disgusting down here. September is going to be awful, and then… maybe a cool down??? It has to cool down eventually!
I did!
I mean… if people can decorate for Christmas already… Halloween brings me joy and I feel like I never have enough time to celebrate it.
I know. It’s gross. I don’t know if it will ever cool down.
wait, when are you cruising and with which company? I’m booked on a Norway cruise next year from England…
End of August is a bit early for me for Halloween, but you do you babe!!
Glad to know A is doing well and you are coping day by day. You’ll get used to it, or at least mostly used to it. x
I hope you go on that cruise! It will be amazing! I’ve seen the NL I think 3x now and it’s a bucket list item for sure. I so want to decorate for fall and get mums because my summer containers are a tired mess. But it’s still too early and hot and they’ll all be so dead so soon.
Glad A is enjoying! Seeing them happy makes all the difference!
The cruise sounds fun! We see the Northern Lights frequently here (well, it’s contingent on a clear sky), and they are a sight!
Oh my gosh that Northern Lights cruise sounds amazing! I hope it all works out and you go.
I’m not much of a Halloween person but I am oh so ready for the ‘ber months to begin. Like Marcia said I’d love to start decorating with mums and all but summer still has a chokehold on us – especially this humidity 🙁
Great to hear A’s doing well!
I’ve never been on a cruise but that seems fun!
Glad to see that A is enjoying school!
I’m ready for fall!
I have taken kitten yoga and yes it was hard to concentrate.
I would love to see the northern lights but I have a few friends that went and the weather did not cooperate. Hope yours does.
Too early… I won’t start any fall decorations until Sept 22.
