It’s that time again! Grab your mugs and your favorite beverage and let’s chat at the April 2023 Ultimate Coffee Date. Coco and I love hosting these and they are some of my favorite posts to read and write. Let’s jump in.
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.
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?
