Thanks for joining Coco, Lynda and me for the Ultimate Coffee Date today. Lynda is away on vacation this month so I will just have an extra cup for her. 🙂 How crazy is it that it’s already July?! Is this month flying by as quickly for you as it is for me?
Grab your mugs and let’s catch up!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I am loving being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. There is nothing quite like flying downhill fast on my bike with the wind in my hair -aah summer. Spin class has nothing on outdoor biking.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
My next Tri race is in 2 weeks and I am feeling pretty good about my runs off the bike. I have had a couple of good brick workouts and I am just hoping that will translate into a faster run time on race day. A bunch of my friends are signed up for this one too so should be a blast.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
After seeing so many other bloggers doing the plank challenges, I was inspired to jump in. I am back planking daily and I forgot how great it feels (afterwards). I have to keep them up! Need some tips on perfecting your plank? Check here
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
Even though it’s crazy hot out, I still enjoy drinking my coffee hot vs iced. For some reason, iced coffee doesn’t taste the same to me.
How about you? Hot coffee or iced? Planking?
If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
Thanks for linking up today!

Good luck on your tri in 2 weeks ! I don’t like iced coffee, give me a big cup of hot any day !
I am still planking, it is doing wonders for my core.
Yes to the coffee! I plan to keep up with the planks too
I prefer hot coffee, even when it’s hot out, but once in a while I’ll have an iced coffee. I agree, it doesn’t really taste the same. Good luck with your tri in two weeks! It’s an awesome feeling when runs off the bike start to feel good. 🙂 I’ve been planking and doing hip stability work on the regular for the last month and I definitely notice a difference, especially in the pool!
I really do think the planks make a difference too. I have to keep them going 🙂
LOL! I don’t trust those iced coffee drinkers! That is not real coffee 🙂 I am up to 2, one minute planks! Now we are adding squats! It is making the summer zip write by! Have a great weekend!
Lol on the coffee 🙂 I am really feeling a difference with the planks too
Yay for the planks! And yes, those people who don’t drink coffee? I don’t understand them. I look forward to my morning coffee.
Morning coffee is what gets me up :). I am feeling a difference with the planks as well I need to keep them up
Definitely hot coffee, although I prefer my lattes iced! We’ve got such great weather this weekend – Perfect for playing outside.
It was gorgeous this morning I was kicking myself for going to CPY instead of running. Great class though
I like hot coffee in the mornings, and on occasion a nice iced coffee is good too. Good luck on the Tri.
Thanks so much! Enjoy your coffee 🙂
Good luck with your next Tri. Being with friends will make it even more fun. I still haven’t gotten the hang of running after riding. If I decide to do another, it’s also in two weeks. I can drink coffee both ways but prefer hot in the mornings. Thanks for the linkup!
Running after riding is always harder than I think it will be. I have just had a few better runs lately. I think you have to accept that you cannot run your regular pace after a bike. I hope you do your race as well! We can crush it together virtually
I hope that Tri goes well for you 🙂
Summer biking is nice! I just love the breeze you can generate.
I was inspired to jump in and do more push ups las month 🙂 That good part of peer pressure lol
Yes peer pressure can also be good sometimes 🙂
I do love my iced coffee in the summer, though most of the time I’m still drinking hot coffee regardless of the weather. Great to hear that your brick workouts are going so well! I try to plank daily and now I’ve joined Marcia’s squats challenge :0
The planks are great and I hope to keep them up! Now there is a squat challenge too?
I have to plank daily because of some instability in my back – I can definitely tell when I haven’t been keeping up with it!
Happy weekend, friend 🙂
I am definitely feeling the difference of adding them back in. I have to keep it up. Have a great weekend
Yes! Hot coffee for me too! I do side planks in my core workouts, but I have a lousy tendon in my elbow that doesn’t like long planks so I have to skip the challenges.
Hot coffee for sure! Side planks work too. Have a great weekend!
Iced coffee is great but it’s definitely not the same.
I need motivation to plank. I skipped the pushups – can’t do them.
This months is squats…I don’t know about that.
I know why does it taste different when it is iced? LOL You can do the challenge just start slow
I have been putting ice cubes in my coffee lately! You caught me! I have been avoiding Starbucks, so not too much on the fancy iced coffee side of things. I’ve been trying to plank more, but no official challenges for me. Basic training is enough! 🙂 Thanks for organizing this link-up!
I just think it tastes different with the ice cubes in it! Funny huh? I just realized I have not done my plank yet today 🙂
Coffee any way for me! lol! Hot every morning but at Starbucks on our bike rides, sometimes it’s hot, sometimes, iced, recently it’s been a coffee light frapp! I planked in June and continuing with a 2 minute plank every day. I’ve been biking a lot due to a recent knee injury. Thankful that it’s summer time and cycling season!
I too love cycling season and it’s way cooler than logging in long runs. I am at around the 2 min plank as well and I love them
Well, I don’t drink coffee but I feel the same way about tea — I don’t do iced tea, and I still drink my green tea hot in the mornings. Luckily it’s not crazy hot here & when it is, we have a strong AC.
Even when it’s crazy hot I need my hot coffee in the morning.
Good luck at your tri in two weeks! I am really glad you are feeling strong and had some solid brick workouts. You are going to tear it up! You are right on the spinning vs outdoor cycling – there’s something about the fresh air blowing in your face that a spin bike just cannot compete with, for sure. Great planking form and I love the beautiful outfit you are wearing in the photo!
Aw thanks I am really excited about my next race just hope it’s not too hot
Oh, planks! I need to get back to doing those…
I just realized I have not done mine yet today!
This year is flying by so quickly!! I love being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine too! <3
I should probably start planking again too–I need to work on my core! 😛
Good luck on your tri!
Thanks! Love the planking!
Good Luck with the Tri! I’m sure it will be a blast, especially as you have friends doing the same race!
Up until recently, I was not much of a coffee fan and was more of a tea drinker. I think it just took the right coffee.. now I have to have one every morning, haha!
I definitely prefer a hot coffee in the morning.. though that might be because it tends to be freezing with the AC in my office and it keeps me warm! 😉 I love a good iced Latte in the summer though!
Funny up until about 5 years ago I never drank coffee. I don’t think I could live without it now!
I never drank coffee before…until my husband deployed 4 months ago and my sleep became obsolete LOL. I drink it hot, and it has to have some sort of flavor to it. I started a planking challenge on my page/blog May 1st, and have been going strong every day! 🙂
Yay for the planking! It really feels good doesn’t it!?
I drink my coffee hot year round, too! Even after running. My friends think it is strange. Have a happy 4th!
Ha ha I don’t think it’s strange at all!
I am totally with you on the hot coffee! I’ll still drink coffee and tea hot in the summertime because that’s just what I prefer!
Mind you, there’s times where I’ll make my decision based on whether a cafe is air conditioned though if I’m running around at meetings, haha!
I agree! Thanks for stopping in today have a great 4th
LOL I just got the Coffee joke! That is so true! Warm coffee for sure!
Yes definitely!
Haha, I’m actually team Iced Coffee…it’s the only way I can drink it! I am joining in on the planks too, I really lost my form so I’m pretty much starting from scratch!
starting from scratch is good sometimes!
In follow-up to my other comment…. I just tried to resubscribe, and it says that I am already subscribed…. but I am definitely not receiving your posts in my email…. hmm…. not in my spam either…. If we were having coffee I would tell you that I just had my birthday weekend and turned 43 and went for a birthday surf again.
Hmm that is so weird I wonder why you are not receiving them! Not sure how to check on that. Happy birthday to you! Hope you had a wonderful day!!
So it appears that no one is getting my posts! Thanks so much for letting me know I am looking into it.
hmm…. ok… hopefully you figure it out soon…. technology….sigh….
