Hello December! Wow can’t believe it’s time for the last Ultimate Coffee Date of the year. These Coffee Date posts have become some of my favorites to write and read. Please join me and my lovely co hosts Coco & Lynda as we share our coffee with you all today. I have so much to tell you today so lets grab our mugs.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…Tomorrow is the Jingle All The Way 5k race that I have been training my husband for. We have faced some challenges the past few weeks so it should be very interesting tomorrow. My son is running it as well and he is determined to beat me. Stay tuned for a full recap next week.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you...After a conservative spring and summer of running, I feel like I finally have my running mojo back. My foot is not hurting anymore (yay) and I’ve been adding back in miles and races. November was my highest mileage month this year so far. I did 3 10k’s and 3 5ks the last 5 weeks and I am loving it all. Not breaking any records yet but so happy running more and really optimistic for 2016. Right in time for winter right?
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…I have mentioned before that I am not a scale person. We had a long, complicated love/hate relationship for many many years. My husband, however, has been using this new Beets Blu Smartphone compatible scale and loves it. I received it in exchange for a review and he took it over. It has a compatible app that stores all of your info and uploads it wirelessly. I love the sleek look of it too. If you are looking for a new one for the holidays, check it out.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…I have a crazy, busy few weeks coming up. We are headed to Vegas next week to celebrate my husband’s big 5-0 birthday with a bunch of friends. Stay tuned for details and pictures should be lots of fun. When you have a blog, what happens in Vegas might not stay in Vegas.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you...We had our MRTT Holiday Party last night. It’s always so fun to see everyone out of their running clothes and gussied up. We clean up well don’t you think? Love these ladies!
I’ve been chatting away this whole time! If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?

Love catching up over these virtual coffee dates. So happy for you that your foot is better. So exciting for the 5K this weekend with your family. Let us know how it goes. And have a great time in Vegas !
Thanks so much! Yes I am sure you will hear all about the race later this week
Good luck to your hubby! I’ll be thinking of you guys as I run my jingle bell race today. And following you enviously in Vegas.
Oh I hope you have a great race today! Yes Vegas should be fun and over the top as always
It is great that your foot is doing so much better! I have a decent bunion on one foot and it flares up from time to time…and it makes me nervous with training for a much longer distance than I am used to!
I hate it when the feet don’t cooperate don’t you!? I am slowly ramping back up carefully
Happy Saturday! Yeah for now foot pain!! I got the scale to review as well and I’ve never owned a scaled!! It’s pretty fun!! The hubs loves it too!
It’s a nice one love all the features it has. Thanks again for joining us for coffee!
Yay to the foot not hurting anymore. Send some of that pain free stuff my way!
I know feet are the worst aren’t they?! Hoping 2016 brings happy feet for us both!
It’s great to hear your running feels good and your foot is well. It gives me hope! Vegas sounds like the perfect spot to celebrate the big 50. Good luck at the Jingle All The Way 5k to the whole family!
Should all be lots of fun I am excited! Have a great weekend
I didn’t realize Jingle all the Way had been shortened from the 8K course. Fun! I always loved that event. Good luck to you and your husband. The MRTT event looks fun. I still miss that. Our chapter just isn’t very active up here and I don’t really have the time to try to get more involved. Enjoy your coffee!
I liked it better as an 8k too but oh well I guess it’s more inclusive that way. Looking forward to it though
Yay for family running! Hope the 5K goes well 🙂 Great to hear your running mojo has returned. Enjoy Vegas!!
Me too and thanks so much friend!
I hope your husband enjoys the 5K! I think my boyfriend would kill me if I ever tried to give him coaching advice. Love the photos from your MRTT event…you look gorgeous!
Ah thanks! Well my husband does not actually take my advice too well 🙂
Yay for getting your mojo back and bring pain free! That is great news and a happy way to finish off 2015. I look forward to hearing how your husband makes out tomorrow. Good luck!
Thanks I think he’s going to need it!! 🙂
I love reading your coffee posts! I’m looking forward to reading about the Santa 5K…. your holiday party pics look great and so fun…. if we were having coffee I’d have to tell you that I ran 18 miles for the first time ever today…and I’ve been giddy today over the accomplishment.
Yay you should be giddy about that it’s quite an accomplishment.I’ve never run farther than a half race. The coffee dates are lots of fun maybe you will join us next month.
Ahh can’t wait to hear about the 5K, and YAY for your foot getting better!!
It was a great day! stay tuned for a recap this week.
Can’t wait to hear who “wins” the race! Hope your husband has a great run! Glad to hear your foot is cooperating!
Thanks we had a great time this morning stay tuned for a recap and yes I am so glad that my foot is feeling better too thanks
Can’t wait to hear how your hubby did in the 5k after training him for some time. Always fun to get dressed up for Holiday parties, especially when you are used to seeing everyone in workout attire.
It was so much fun today stay tuned for a recap!
I hope the race went well. I ran the Rehoboth half yesterday…I will Jingle Bell next year 😉

LOL on blogging about Vegas. I’m sure you’re husband knows by now the risks of traveling with a blogger! Thanks for another great coffee date!
Love our coffee dates! I am sure you will see lots of Vegas pics
I love that you have an amazing running group in town Deborah. It is just like pulling teeth to get one started here. I can’t figure it out.
I am looking forward to 2016 race schedule and am planning on just taking on what my body can do and not over fill the calendar. 🙂
Thanks I do love my running group! I am looking forward to 2016 as well. It’s hard not to sign up for everything isn’t it?
I hope your race went well! :] That scale looks pretty awesome! I have their HR monitor and I like it a lot!
Happy birthday to your husband!
Oh good to know about the HR monitor. The race was fun recap coming tomorrow
So excited for you that your foot has healed!! Isn’t that the best feeling?!
You are going to have so much fun running this winter, and hopefully the weather won’t be too crazy 🙂
You ladies clean up nicely!! Have so much fun in Vegas!
I sure hope so! Thanks
