Me: I said to my husband “Gawd, I can’t wait for this month to be over”.
He replies with “we’ll you only have a few hours to go”.
Me: Smart ass.
Him: Well, it’s true.
Me: Frig, it’s still September, right!
Him: Yeah, for a few more hours.
Me: I’m ready for October to be done, already!
It’s such a busy time of year with work and I am on the road more than I am in the office which can make for long days of driving. Oh, and I’ve got a little run coming up soon……make that two runs coming up.
I do love the fall; beautiful trees, stunning weather, fresh crisp air, pumpkins, apple picking, fall races and Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend. Gobble Gobble 🙂

How was your September?
Any October goals?
Do you go apple, pear, pumpkin picking?
I love baking apple pie 🙂
Me too!
Apple pie! I have never made one. It looks so intimidating!
I never made pie until a few years ago. I have this great vegan apple pie with cinnamon and raisins…it’s SO good and actually really easy to make!
Nice mileage!! Good luck with your race, too. I’ve never been apple picking but it sounds fun.
I want October for the cooler temps. But they say it’s going to be in the 90’s all week so….
Nice job on Sept. Crush it in Oct!
