Thanks for joining Coco and me for the November Ultimate Coffee Date today. These are always my favorite posts to read and write. What’s more fun than a coffee date with friends? Grab a mug of your favorite warm brew and let’s dish.
November Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I might be a little late because I am in San Francisco! Unfortunately, I am not running the Napa Ragnar due to the devastating fires in California. The hubs and I decided to go out to San Fran anyway and spend a few days playing tourists. I can’t wait to tell you all about all of our adventures next week.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
November is my birthday month and also my husbands. We are 2 days apart (and 4 years but who is counting?) I always feel the need to sign up for a bunch of races around my birthday. It just so happens to coincide with Veteran’s Day week so I have a lot of choices around the DC area. Maybe it makes me feel younger?

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday and we are hosting again. It’s not about religion or gifts it’s just about being thankful for family and friends. I need to finalize my menu and figure out all the sides I plan to make. I have this craving for a S’mores pie after I had a taste of one in Georgia a few weeks ago. Who can decide?
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
This fall season of Girls on The Run is flying by and it’s almost time for our end of the season 5K race in about 4 weeks. I am having a blast with my girls this season.
I’ve been chatting away so now it’s your turn! Tell me-What do you love about Thanksgiving? Do you sign up for races around your birthday? Thanks for joining us for the November Ultimate Coffee Date today have a good one!

I’m glad you and your husband decided to go to San Fran anyway! We really love Northern CA and San Fran is a great city. I am excited to see what you were up to. Happy early birthday! My hubby and I are one year, 3 days apart.
I too love Thanksgiving! Christmas edges it out as my favorite because I love Christmas decorations, lights, and smells! But I see my family and have a big meal on both holidays.
it’s kind of fun to have your hubs birthday close isn’t it? We are 4 years and 2 days so lots of celebrating. We are having a blast eating and touring San Fran
There are no races (local) on my birthday — deep in the heart of winter. I did pick it for what I thought would be my first half (turned out to be our second).
While I’m sad you didn’t get to do Ragnar & of course for the reason you didn’t get to do it, I’m happy you were able to turn it into a trip! How fun! Love SF although it’s been decades & like I said, running across the golden gate is on my bucket list. How was it? Was it really windy up there?
I’m glad we were able to go as well. The day we went it was perfect! Beautiful views and no wind. I hope you have the chance to run it sometime too
Have a great birthday this month. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays as well, luckily im not hosting this year.
Thanks! I love to host Thanksgiving now I just have to plan our menu
Happy Birthday month! What a beautiful city to celebrate in. I think SF is my favorite city (besides Chicago)!
the celebration is going really well so far!
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities – I hope you’re having fun!
Happy birthday month!
We are having a blast! Cant’ wait to tell you all about it next it
I hope you’re having fun in CA! My son just broke the news that he may not be home for TG. I’ve got to come up with a plan ….
OH no I am sorry to hear that. Is your daughter coming home?
I hope you are having fun in SF! I’ve always wanted to run a race on my actual birthday. It hasn’t happened yet. For one, it would have to fall on a weekend. I can’t wait for Sweet Potato Casserole at Thanksgiving. Thanks for coffee!
I am having a blast in San Fran look forward to telling you all about it next week. I’m on a flight all day so I am missing the WW this week again. Will be back next week for sure
I’m glad you’re having a fun trip to San Francisco – your pictures are gorgeous. I can’t wait to read about your adventures next week.
Happy birthday month to us! As you know, this is a big one for me and I’m celebrating by spending a long weekend at the beach with a bunch of my runner friends. Normally I don’t really think about an added race in November for my birthday (I always run the local turkey trot on Thanksgiving morning), but this year we’re celebrating by running the OBX Half Marathon!
Thank you for the linkup!
Yes happy birthday to us! You are going to have so much fun running the half with your besties. Most fun way to celebrate! I think I am going to squeeze in 2 10K’s next weekend if the weather is good
I wish I could be in San Fran with you! Not just for the fabulous company ;-), but to see all the many sights there. I SO loved our family’s quick visit there almost two years ago….
Now that would be fun!
I’ve been known to run a race around my birthday. 🙂 Not every year, but there have been some fun ones. I’ve seen some of your IG pics from your San Fran trip. Looks like you’re having a great time.
We are having a blast and doing lots of touristy things 🙂
I love everything about Thanksgiving! I start the day by running the Turkey Trot, then I come home and start our meal, and then I end the day watching football. I am patiently waiting for it to get here this year!
That’s my favorite way to start Thanksgiving day too!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday too! I don’t know what our plans are yet, it might just be the three of us at home but I’d be ok with it.
That’s always nice too!
Aww, I hope you’re having fun in California! I miss home. (Sorry that you weren’t able to run the Ragnar though. :[ )
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays too! I like the delicious food and good company that tends to come along with it. :]!
the food and the family are the best part of Thanksgiving. Yes I had fun in California!
I have always wanted to visit San Francisco! I”m sorry to hear about the Ragnar event being canceled, but hope you had an awesome trip!
Happy early birthday! I can’t believe it’s time to think about Thanksgiving…I’m still in denial that it’s almost here!
We had so much fun doing all kinds of touristy stuff! Thanks for linking up for coffee
It is hard for me to decide between Thanksgiving and Christmas as the favorite – because they both are so centered around lots of time with family and great food.
Hope you are having a great time in San Fran
San Fran was a blast and although the race was cancelled, my hubs and I ended up having a great weekend together
Happy Birthday Deborah!! I`m sorry that you weren’able to run Ragnar, but I bet it’s nice to be able to spend some time with your hubby. I hope you had a great weekend!
Thanks so much! Yes it did not end up how we planned but I had a great time in CA with my husband
I’d tell you we are taking a break from hosting this year and it feels pretty good! I signed up for my first Turkey Trot!
Sounds like you need a little break! Turkey trots are great I will be doing one as well
