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!

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
