Welcome to the Ultimate Coffee Date Mother’s Day Edition! Coco, Lynda and I are so glad that you are joining us to catch up and enjoy a cup of your favorite beverage.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…I am so happy to have both of my kids (and my husband) home together for Mother’s Day. My daughter finished her finals and flew home last night. It will be great to all be together.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you..I feel pretty darn accomplished to have run a total of 18.4 miles during our American Odyssey relay last weekend. The most I’ve ever run! It took a few days to recover from the no sleep but I am still on a runner’s high. Loved my team mates!
If we having coffee today, I would tell you…My girls on the run team has their 5k race next weekend and I have just been blown away by their dedication and excitement about the race so far. Can’t wait to watch them all just crush it next week.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…I am doing a charity bike event today called Tour De Cookie. I am excited to get some good mileage in today on my bike and also taste all the yummy cookies that are going to be handed out. I do bike for chocolate.
If we were having coffee today, I would tell you…I’d like to wish all the fabulous moms and women in my life a very Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you all have wonderful, relaxing day.
Any big plans for Mother’s Day?

Congrats on running on that mileage, and on the upcoming 5K. What a great accomplishment for those young women. I am sure having your daughter home for the summer will be fun, enjoy ! Happy Mother’s day.
Thanks so much yes lots to be happy about this month.
How exciting that your daughter made it home for Mother’s day weekend! Is she home for the summer now? I hope you all have a great weekend catching up! Cute running group you have- the girls look like a ton of fun! Good luck with the bike ride 🙂 I might would try and ride for cookies!
She is home for the summer! My little girls are so much fun. Happy mother’s day
Happy Mother’s Day! It sounds like you have been busy 🙂 It’s so nice that your daughter is home to celebrate with you this weekend, Enjoy!!
It is! Happy mother’s day to you too
Happy Mother’s Day, Deborah!!! Enjoy…
Thanks you too! Hope it’s a great day for you
Our big local women’s race is by a local cookie company. Actually, they’re available throughout the northeast. I used to demolish an entire box on my own as a kid, but now they just don’t taste as good — you do get a free box when you run the race! And other free food.
I’m not signed up, although I will be home this year (often we’re away). But I’ll just be getting back from a trip and May was a really busy month (or will be, when all is said & done).
Enjoy your ride, your cookies, and your family.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks the cookies were a nice touch today. All homemade by local groups and it was fun to see them out there.
Wait wait wait. You ran how long?!
That’s incredible! And do keep us updated on what your children do for you on your mother’s day!
I did run 18 miles myself and our team ran 200 miles such a fun event to do. Thanks!
Yeah Tour De Cookie!!! I had planned to do it this year but I have yet to get a bike ;( maybe next year.
Congrats to your daughter on finishing her finals….what a lovely mother’s day to have everyone home 😉
Congrats on American odyssey. When I ran Ragnar, I ran a little over 18 miles too (furthest for me as well). I ran Ragnar in October and the feeling hasn’t left yet-lol!
Girls on the Run….how exciting! They are adorable!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy mother’s day to you too! It was fun this morning you should join us next year for sure.
Happy Mother’s Day to you! I’m glad you will be with your family this weekend. Enjoy every moment.
Thanks so much me too!
Happy Mother’s Day! How wonderful to have everyone at home! That’s an amazing amount of miles you ran in a short period of time. I know you enjoyed every minute of it. You will be so proud of those girls next weekend. It must be very rewarding to be involved with that program. I would bike for cookies in a heartbeat! Where do I sign up?
I was so bummed I couldn’t make Girls on the Run coaching work this season. Hope you have a fabulous time at your 5K!! and Happy Mother’s Day! 🙂
Oh bummer you couldn’t coach again. I do love it. If you’re not doing anything next Sunday come do the 5k in Ballston.
Great job on the relay! That’s awesome! :O The Tour De Cookie sounds awesome, haha. (Yay for cookies! :P) I hope you have an awesome weekend!
It was fun and the cookies were yummy!
Congrats on American Odyssey – that’s a lot of mileage!
How nice to have the whole family together for Mother’s Day! Enjoy!!
Thanks it was a lot of miles for me! Excited to have all my kiddos home this weekend
I could be motivated to do a bike ride with cookies as a reward. This sounds wonderful! No big plans for Mother’s Day. Spending it with family. Thank you Deborah for the link up! I enjoyed coffee with you!
I always enjoy coffee with you too! The bike ride with the cookies was great.
Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
I have enjoyed following your races so far this year. Good luck on your bike race today and savor that well earned cookie 🙂
Thanks so much! The bike ride was fun today
How great to have everyone home this weekend! Enjoy Mother’s Day!
Thanks so much you too!
All of it sounds great…. your relay, the charity bike event, girls on the run….. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that in May I celebrate Mother’s Day, my husband’s bday, my baby sister’s bday, and my wedding anniversary….. a pretty celebratory month!
Our wedding anniversary is this week too! Happy Anniversary to you as well and have a great mother’s day
Girls on the run sounds so fun, and I have thought of doing it for a while- fantastic way to get girls the confidence and help them along! Thanks for hosting and happy Mother’s Day to you!

It’s great that you got to have both your kids home for Mother’s Day! I feel blessed that I got to have my mom here for the weekend! I love that you are involved with Girls on the Run! I was hoping to coach this springs session but due to my injury I could but I am going to run with the girls. I am super excited for it and can’t wait for the fall session so I can start coaching. Happy Mother’s Day!
You are going to love coaching. It’s so rewarding! Fun to connect with you
Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the 18.4 miles during your relay – that is amazing! Tour de Cookie sounds FANTASTIC. I would totally bike for chocolate, too. Please take lots of pictures!!! So excited to hear how your Girls on the Run team crushes the 5K next weekend. Happy Mother’s Day and I hope you had a fantastic weekend!!!
Thanks so much to all of the above! The tour de cookie was great full recap coming soon
Tour de cookie is just a brilliant idea for a ride. Tour de beer would also be nice but could get a little ugly towards the end 😉 Happy Mother’s Day Deborah!
I am much more of a cookie person than a beer person for sure! Happy mother’s day to you too
Good luck to your girls on the run team, that’s so exciting! I also hope you had a great Mother’s Day!
Thanks so much and happy mother’s day to you as well.
Happy Mother’s Day!! Hope you had a fantastic weekend!!

I did! Hope you have a wonderful time!
Are all the Girls On The Run Races this weekend? I always miss the spring one, that makes me sad. If they had a Virtual option, I would absolutely go for it!
It sounds like you had a great relay race! that is awesome!
Happy belated mother’s day!
The gotr races in Northern Virginia are this weekend but most of the programs finish around this time. And yes a great time on the relay race despite the weather.
