Things that make you go Hmmm.
Just like that, the summer-like feels have come to an abrupt halt. The hot beverages are within arms length. And I’m craving some chat time.
Shall we gather ‘round the virtual table, and have a virtual coffee talk? I’m game, so let’s do it!

So, here we are. More than a month (officially) into the fall season.
The thing is, it’s been feeling more like late summer than fall, and it’s been rather nice! While I’m in no hurry for the true fall to arrive, I do know it’s inevitable. Sigh…
Alas, it’s also time for another gathering ‘round the ‘Fessional as we prepare for another month’s arrival. As always, I have a few ‘fessions to bring forward.
…and just like that, it was Taper Week!
It’s crazy how fast a race can sneak up on you when you really haven’t properly trained for it. I know, my bad.
It’s a Catch-22 situation being a seasoned half marathoner. I know the desired mileage for the optimal training, but I also know that (somewhat) consistent long-ish runs (most weekends) will get me to the start line.
Alas, here I am…
It was a week filled with all things Color (and some Paint, PTO and a little bit of Patience).
Actually, this colorful endeavor began last Saturday morning and has continued through the entire week. There’s still a lot left undone, but I'm enjoying the process and loving the continued progress. Color totally soothes the soul, much like running (and fitness in general).
Speaking of running (and fitness), it also was a decent week of continuous activity and movement. Suffice it to say my quads saw a lot action on the ladder and my glutes did their fair share of squat “holds” as I painted along numerous baseboards (cross-training, LOL).
I think Momma N’s confused.
I’m not complaining, but it has me amused. She’s been giving us fall-like mornings and summer-like afternoons. Any last morsel of summer she throws my way, I’ll gladly take (even if I have to layer-up in the wee hours).
Let’s suffice it to say this week had me relishing the “PM” hours. There was plentiful sunshine and wonderful weather to behold. And I was there for it!
Hello, October!
Thus far, you’ve brought some cold mornings, but also warm (borderline hot) afternoons. While the diminishing daylight is a total buzzkill, I’m making do by cherishing every last morsel of what remains of Summer 2024.
With this new month off and running, it’s time to meet with friends, over coffee, for our monthly chat. My hazelnut cappuccino is ready to go…shall we get this party started?
