April 2023 Ultimate Coffee Date

April 2023 Ultimate Coffee Date 

If we were having coffee, I would tell you…

It was so nice to spend the weekend with Cari and Kim here in Washington, DC. We had the extra bonus of seeing Coco and Deb as well. The most fun thing about meeting up with virtual running friends, is discovering that you have so much to talk about. This past weekend was a much needed distraction for me. They also became honorary MRTT members and met a bunch of my run squad.

Coffee date April 2023

If we were having coffee, I would tell you…

I could not be more excited for a vacation! We left yesterday for St. Thomas and will be getting on a cruise tomorrow with some friends for the next week. If you need me, I will be relaxing with a good book and a nice view. It has been a very stressful few weeks and I cannot wait to relax. More in my weekly run down Sunday however my tests went well and I have been cleared to resume my normal running routine. 

If we were having coffee, I would tell you…

I’ve been enjoying my “Finding Joy in Running from A to Z” challenge. It’s fun to come up with words and themes for each letter. I have a long way to go. Feel free to jump in and join me if you’d like.

If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?

About Deborah Brooks

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.
