Welcome to the Ultimate Coffee Date! Coco, Lynda and I are so happy to have you join us to check in and dish about what is going on in our lives this month. Grab your coffee mugs and join us!
Ultimate Coffee Date-April
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…I am running the Cherry Blossom 10 miler tomorrow morning. I am kind of nervous as this is my longest race in a while and since all those pesky foot issues. It doesn’t really help that we now have freeze warnings and predicted 40 mph winds. Hey no problem right? Coco is running it with me too-well not actually with but near-she is super speedy.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you...I have really been enjoying coaching my girls on the run team the past few weeks. I have 6th grade girls again and the day they actually asked me if they could run longer. So happy that they are so enthusiastic and I can’t wait to see them all crush the 5k next month. We also incorporate strength training into our lessons and had lots of fun with this group “superwomen”.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…Is is just me or is “coffee” even more popular than ever these days? It seems like there are so many funny coffee posts floating around. I love this one:
Not to mention all the cute t shirts:
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…I just realized that my April is busier than ever! My American Odyssey race is quickly approaching. American Odyssey is similar to Ragnar and this course will start in Gettysburg, PA should be a beautiful place to run. More on that soon! I also realized that my first triathlon race of the season is quickly approaching. Someone needs to get on their bike huh?
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…this was my most favorite picture from this month. I had a blast taking this aerial yoga class at Canyon Ranch and I’d love to try it again.
I had a great good night sleep last night, I’ve got my coffee cup full and I am excited to hear about what everyone else is up to today.
If we were having coffee today, what would you tell me?

Good luck for your race tomorrow! I hope the weather is kind to you! I would tell you that we are off to a race circuit today (kind of like a British version of NASCAR). It’s our first weekend away this year so fingers crossed for nice weather here too.
That sounds fun too!
Have a great race today! Freeze — heck, that’s nothing. It’s supposed to SNOW for my race tomorrow. AND be windy. I’m guessing it won’t be a PR. and then I need to run another 5 miles afterward!
Gettysburg is beautiful. I ran a half there. Heck, I think most of PA is beautiful! But we’d never been to Gettysburg before my half. I think by the time I’m done, we’ll say that about a lot of places!
Ok you have me beat on the weather front! Good luck tomorrow too may the wind be at both of our backs
Good luck tomorrow
Wait what 4pmph winds!!! I hope there are still so Cherry Blossoms left.
I was suppose to do the American Odyssey but the girl that initially invited me never got it together. Maybe next year.
Arial yoga..how fun.
Thanks for coffee always a pleasure.
Yup hope you have better weather today in Philly for your race!
good luck tomorrow! Exciting to get back out there and go for it! Sounds like big plans for April and more fun! I love the aerial picture too, mine is one of my favorites also! Thanks for coffee I have to get ready for my 10K!
Hope you had a great race today!
Aerial yoga looks so much fun! And you look super relaxed for being upside down. Sending you lots of healthy vibes for the Cherry Blossom tomorrow. It’s intimidating, but I’m sure you will be just fine! Just think of what you are capable of once you cross that finish line, right!?
Thanks yes a little intimidating but I have run in worse yes. Thanks for the good vibes
Good luck tomorrow!! You’ll do great. I’ve been considering applying to be a GOTR coach here in Florida, I need to learn more about it 🙂
I absolutely love coaching gotr if you have any questions or if I can help please let me know!
I agree with you…coffee is so popular! I can’t start the day without it. When I was sick last week, I still had to sip on a little coffee. I’m truly addicted!
Good luck tomorrow at Cherry Blossom! Don’t forget to pre-fuel with coffee! I’m looking forward to the recap.
Ha ha yes lots of pre fueling with coffee!
Deborah love the aerial yoga shot. That is great, what a fun class. I don’t think I would look that graceful if I were taking it. Have fun running today and thanks for coffee.
the aerial yoga was so much fun and you only saw the good photo 🙂
Good Morning, thank you for hosting this funLink-Up! I am having some coffee now & enjoying all the posts. I love the picture of you doing aerial Yoga, that must have been such a wonderful time at Canyon Ranch! Good Luck at the Cherry Blossom 10 miler, I would love to do that one day, but with more pleasant weather 🙂 Happy April!
Thanks aerial yoga was so much fun and yes more pleasant weather is desirable for sure!
I like the coffee meme that counts down the amount of coffee in the cup until it’s OK for you to speak to me. Have you seen that one?
Good luck on your race tomorrow. Hopefully the weather won’t be too miserable!
The are so many coffee memes out there! Thanks for good vibes for tomorrow
I hope your foot behaves and you have a good race.
I would love to do that race or any race in DC….on my bucket list.
Your yoga poses are amazing. I am in awe. I have so inflexible and uncoordinated.
I am really not that coordinated anyone can fake it for a little while 🙂
Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow! Not ideal conditions but I know you’ll do great 🙂
Thanks Michelle!
I really need that shirt. My current tank says “Wine Drinking Team.” HA!
Good luck tomorrow!
Hey wine drinking works too! Thanks
How fun you get to see Coco and run in this great race! One day I hope to make the trip North to participate, one day!
Oh I love that shirt too! I know right, coffee stuff is everywhere! I had a lot of fun coming up with a post for a coffee themed bloggers loop on Friday. I found some awesome coffee related things too!
I really enjoyed your pictures of the retreat you and your mom took. That was pretty cool!
On my 2nd cup now, wait ok third but who’s counting? Thanks for coffee Deborah and as always thanks for the link up I do enjoy this one very much! 🙂
I love the link up too and so glad you are here! I saw all of your fun coffee stuff yesterday I may need one of those personalized mugs
It looks like you had an amazing time at Canyon Ranch. Lucky you ! Good luck on your race tomorrow, hope the weather turns out nice !
Thanks I am excited but nervous!
your coffee posts are my favorite….I think I’ve told you that before….looking forward to pics of your Cherry Blossom run….. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I just had the most fabulous 10 mile run this morning with a running friend who has run 18 marathons… and the time just flew by….. And that aerial yoga picture of yours was my favorite of the month, too:)
Wow 18 marathons is a lot of marathons. Glad to hear that your run went well. Cherry Blossom was an adventure for sure will be sharing details later in the week. We had crazy weather!
I love that picture of you. Good luck with the Cherry Blossom race, I hope your foot doesn’t act up.
Thanks! My foot was great it was the weather that was an issue. I will be detailing that later in the week. Hope you had a great weekend!
Hope your race went well and that you’re having a great weekend! I love the aerial yoga picture 🙂
Thanks it went as well as expected with the crazy weather we had.
Good luck in the race today and I hope your foot holds up well! Love Girls on the Run. So awesome that you can coach! Thanks for the link up!
Thanks! And thanks for joining us again for coffee
I hope you had a wonderful race and no issues with your foot! I do think coffee is so much more of a trend with the younger set than it was years ago. I’ve been addicted for over 30 years. What can I say? It has got to be so rewarding to be working with Girls on the Run. I love that they wanted to run more! Thanks for the linkup.
I really just got into coffee a few years ago but can’t even imagine going without it for one day now! Race was good more details to come! Thanks
I hope the race met your expectations even though the weather was crazy windy! Sorry we didn’t get to meet but we’ll have to make it happen! The Girls on the Run are lucky to have you as a coach 🙂
I am glad that I did it! I gave it all I had under really tough conditions. We will just have to do it again next year!
I saw the cheery blossom wind warnings posted on someone’s page. Looked nuts. Hope you were able to still have an enjoyable race.
It was crazy windy and probably the hardest race I ever did! Recap coming soon
