Hi friends! Feels like it’s been a while since our last coffee date. I am grabbing my extra large mug because, as usual, I have lots to chat about. Grab a chair and let’s catch up. If we were having coffee today, what would you tell me?
May Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having coffee…
I would say, “can’t believe I didn’t think of that”! Listen to my run was started so runners could have someone to talk to about their runs, their training, etc who would actually listen and pretend to be interested. Yes, seriously that’s what they do. The first 5 minutes are free and after that it’s $5.99 a minute for another runner to hang out and listen to you relive your latest run. Chat about your Strava local legend status or about how eating oatmeal before your run was the best idea ever. They want to hear all the details about your race or run. Seriously, genius idea why didn’t I think of that?
If we were having coffee…
I would tell you that I am almost finished with my NASM Nutrition Coach Certification. Admittedly, did not love some of the science of digestion section but overall, it’s been an interesting and informative program. I am excited to figure out what to do next. Any ideas? Has anyone used a nutrition coach before? Would love to hear about your experience.
If we were having coffee…
Finally, I would tell you that my son is coming home tonight from college for the summer. We have not seen him since January and I can’t wait to hug him. The year he was born was also Mother’s Day weekend so seems apt for him to be arriving again just in time. While I am sure, hanging out at home won’t be as exciting as college life, I am glad to have him back for a few months.
Thanks for linking up with Coco and me today. Happy Mother’s Day everyone! If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
Yay! That’s awesome that you’re almost done with your certification + that your son’s coming back for the next couple months! Hope you get to spend lots of quality time together!
Thanks me too!
Congrats on almost being done with your certification! Hope you have a great time with your son!
Thanks and yes it will be nice to have him home
I’m thinking that our blogs serve the purpose of that chat service, lol!! Yay for you–anxious to hear more about your certification! I’d be all over that science of digestion since ahem, that can be an issue for me, lol!!!
Happy Mother’s Day and enjoy your time with your son!
Yes they do serve that purpose for sure! The science part can get a little tedious for me but overall, it was interesting
That’s exciting to have the son back home! I’d forgotten (temporarily) about the nutrition certification, congrats on that as the finish line approaches. Enjoy your Mother’s Day weekend <3
Thanks and you too!
Congrats. I didn’t realize you would be getting your certification. I’ve thought about it but don’t have the time until I stop working.
Hooray on seeing your son. Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks and yes so excited to see him!
Congrats on nearing the finish line of your NASM nutrition certification course! I’m sure you learned a lot of useful information!
Happy Mother’s Day! How exciting that your son is coming home today! Sounds like the perfect start to you Mother’s Day weekend!
Having him coming home is a great gift for sure!
Ha, Listen to my run is a hilarious and ingenious idea! Because really… no one actually wants to hear all the details.
Glad you will have your son home!!! That’s the best Mother’s Day present.
I know, it’s a genius idea wish I had thought of it
I would TOTALLY not pay for that! LOL. Lucky I have a lot of runner friends to talk to.
I’m excited we get to run tour together this month in Chicago!
I know it’s crazy that people will pay for that!b Ha! It’s great that we have a lot of running friends. Yes, can’t wait to run with you
Genius idea about Listen to My Run!!! Although Bill does that for me for free! 🙂 So cool that you are getting your nutrition coach certification. Have a great time with your son this summer. Enjoy having him home. All of mine are long gone.
My husband pretends to listen but really has no interest! Yes it will be fun having him home for a while
Congrats on being close to wrapping up your certification!
How wonderful to have your son in time for Mother’s Day – Enjoy your time with him!
Yes it will be nice to have him home for a few months
OMG, that service is too funny! I wonder how popular it is!
Yay on your son coming home. I know how special that is.
Have a great weekend and Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks Happy Mother’s day to you
I was born around Mother’s Day, and this year, I fall right on the date. Double the fun! Have a great time with your son!
Congratulations on your upcoming new certification! That’s really incredible. I think this will open a lot of additional opportunities for you.
Thanks I hope so too! Happy birthday to you early
I have to admit I find the idea of paying someone to listen to me talk about my run is kinda weird. Interesting to see if it takes off.
Actually, I would love to become a health coach myself! But the $$. There are so many great programs out there these days, it can be a rabbit hole. So I’ll be interested with what you share. Congrats on being so close to finished!
I’ll bet it will be nice to see your son & have him home for the Summer. I’m sure he’ll enjoy you doing his laundry, LOL! My brother’s birthday is also around Mother’s Day, sometimes it falls on Mother’s Day, too. Taureses!
I happened to stumble across the NASM program when they had a 50% off sale on it so it was a good time for me to do it. Yes so many programs so little time! It will be nice to have him home for sure
That “Listen To My Run” idea is too funny. Like Wendy says, I think blogging takes care of that. I guess if you don’t blog though…
Congrats on the Nutrition certification. That sounds very interesting and right up your alley with all your recipes.
I know it’s a great idea if you can get people to pay you
I think Listen to my Run is a great idea but it isn’t something that I would use. Ha, I am more of a music person. Enjoy the time with your son!
Thanks I sure will!
Um yeah I would not pay a cent for that service. It’s not like they’re going to give you advice right?
Happy Mother’s Day and enjoy having your son home!
no they just listen to you talk about your runs and sound really interested! Crazy 🙂
Listen To My Run sounds very interesting…I know I could talk about running all day long, lol!
I hope you and your son have a great time over the summer while he’s home. It’s so great to see families reuniting again after all the craziness of COVID.
Yes it is great to have him home again. Might be the last summer as he graduates next year. It goes by so fast! Take it all in
Congratulations on being nearly done with coaching. While I haven’t used a formal coach, my doctor’s practice has a nutritional adviser who works to advise based on health goals, meds we’re on, etc. and I find it helpful especially as they’ve tested my metabolism with the breathing tube a few times.
So glad your son is home with you for the summer.
It is definitely helpful to get feedback like that!
