Happy September friends! I can’t believe it’s labor day weekend already. I hope you have a big cup of coffee with you because I’ve got lots to chat about today! Please join me and my co hosts Coco and Lynda for the Ultimate Coffee Date. (This post contains affiliate links).
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that I am still really missing my baby girl who left for college a few weeks ago. I might not be able to have coffee with her in person but we had a virtual coffee date too!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…I love virtual races too and next weekend is the Skirt Sports “Boobie Run”. Yep that’s really what it’s called! It’s all about Breast Cancer Awareness and skirts of course. Skirt Sports is celebrating their 11th birthday with a fun 8k or 8 mile virtual run. As an ambassador, you can use my code and register for 20% off. (SSCMR20) You are paying $48 for a $70 gift cert. No brainer right? Hope to “see” you there.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you…I am so excited to be coaching my hubs towards running a 5k with me in December. I’ve tried for years to convince him and he finally said yes! I will be tracking his progress monthly. Hope you will tune in for updates. So far so good!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…Like a lot of runners my feet get pretty banged up and scruffy. I’ve had so many foot issues this year too. Even when I use lots of lotion, I still have dry heels. I love getting pedicures but obviously can’t get them as often as I’d like. I was sent this cute little Emjoi Micro Pedi to test out and let me tell you-love! It really removes the dry skin & callouses off of my feet really quickly. It’s great to use between pedicures for touch ups. I will be adding to my holiday gifts for runners & it’s a steal at $24. Happy Feet = Happy me!
I’ve been rambling on and on. Now it’s your turn!
If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?

I love the Sport Skirts virtual runs I don’t know how I missed this one! Oh, the feet this summer 🙁 that gizmo looks like a definite must have! I am looking forward to the next installment of the hubby training, I hope he is doing well! Thanks for the coffee! Last long run this morning before Atlanta! Have a great weekend!
Thanks! I love the virtual races too-great way to load up on gear. I love the foot pedi. The hubs is still going strong-update in a few weeks. Hope your foot is feeling better.
Virtual coffee dates-how cute! Modern technology at its finest!
Yeah hubby. I would find that so hard-my husband swears he knows everything-lol! Good luck with that!
For the virtual run-does it have to be completed on the 12th? I am pretty booked that day.
Girl….sign me up….these feet are a hot mess!
Have a great weekend!
Ha yea the feet never ending battle! The virtual can really be anytime around that date. You don’t have to submit it or anything it’s more about fun and the gift certificate of course! Let me know if you want more info. I actually have a 25% off code for friends so message me if you want it.
I love that your hubby is going to run a 5k! I can’t even get mine to walk around the block with me! Altho he did brew a beer for me to drink after I run Chicago…
Well it wasn’t easy that’s for sure! So far so good on the training. Taking it very slow and steady.
If we were having coffee I’d quiz you on just how you got your husband to agree to you coaching him lol. Hugs to you missing your daughter an thank you for the link up!
Well it wasn’t easy! I may have had to flirt my way into it 🙂
I can assure you my hubs would never let me train him in anything! LOL. Kudos on your persuasion. I haven’t had a pedicure in so long. I feel like I need my calluses right now. Maybe I’ll treat myself after the big race. Hugs for missing your daughter. I’ll be in the same boat soon.
Oh yes you should treat yourself! I might have promised my hubs a few things wink wink
How sweet that you and your daughter had a virtual coffee date! Have a great holiday weekend!
Thanks you too!
I love that you’re coaching your husband! And, it’s great that you can do virtual coffee dates with your daughter 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
I know he is doing great so far! Thanks the virtual date was fun with her.
I have never heard of a virtual race before. It sounds cool! I am glad you had a virtual coffee date with your daughter. And it has been far too long since I’ve had a pedicure. Thanks for hosting!
We just had coffee at the same time and chatted on the phone 🙂 The little things and we all need a pedi
I would love my husband to run with me but no go. He won’t start with a walk run, feels he HAS to run then it is such an awful experience, he just says forget it. Will be interested to see how you motivate your husband ! Thanks for the linkup and have a great long weekend.
Yes it will be interesting for sure! We are starting very slow
So sorry you are missing your daughter. I can only imagine how hard that must be!
I wish I could get my hubby to run a race. He says he’s allergic 🙂
ha ha too funny! WE will see how it goes 🙂
How awesome that your husband is running! I only wish I could get mine to run. And I love that little pedicure thing, my heels are horrible!
My heels get gross too! My hubs is doing well so far thanks
I love that you are coaching your husband. I really want to get certified. Maybe next year! Happy September and thanks for coffee!
It’s been fun so far! Slow and steady 🙂
My son keeps commenting on how awful my feet are. I keep all the calluses to help prevent blisters + I have a few messed up toenails. Not my sexiest body part LOL.
Ha I am so all about the pedicures!
Man, I need a pedicure so badly! That little micro pedi looks perfect for upkeep. So fun that your husband is training for a run with you too!
It’s a great little gizmo for sure and fun to have around for those little spots. Training him has been fun so far.
Ahhh pedicure… what was that? I haven’t had one in years! I worry that if I get one, I will a) lose half an inch of height! and b) my no-longer-hobbit feet will get blisters from all the running!
Can’t wait for the Boobie run next weekend!
Ha sounds like you really need one then!! Yes “see you” at the virtual run
I’ll have to check out the Boobie Run! When are you doing yours?
I am going to run on Saturday morning with our welcome run want to join us?
You probably start too late for me, but I did sign up with your code!
I can only imagine how much you miss that baby girl of yours! Good to hear you’re having virtual coffee dates with her! Do you wear flip flops with a black, foam rubber kind of sole? Those dry my heels out like crazy!
If we were having tea/coffee I would tell you that I finally scheduled my appointment to chop my hair and donate it. I’ll be donating it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths in memory of my niece. Can’t wait for my makeover. It’s next Friday!!
That’s fabulous! My daughter donated her hair to Pantene last year. Beautiful way to honor your niece. Thanks for stopping by today
Enjoy the Boobie Run! I need to take a better look at these virtual races that pop up! Glad you and your daughter are still getting some bonding time!
The virtuals are lots of fun to do and a great way to score some discounted stuff!
Deborah, I love it … your hubby is going to do a 5k awesome! I never get pedicures any longer, I have the worst feet and toes. So many of my toes have lost their nails and growing them back is a slow process. I just have to accept my ugly toes and think of them as a reminder of my running accomplishments. LOL
I recall when our son headed to college, so hard. I never slept and was always worried. Now he is getting ready to head to the Army as a combat medic. He is going in as a specialist in the field since he is an EMT and I am not not ready for that chapter.
Fun coffee today, see you on the blogosphere 🙂
It’s not always easy being a mom is it?! I refuse to accept having ugly feet! :0 Yes great coffee date this month
I used to have an Emjoi Micro Pedi, and it was amazing! I really need to find it…
They are great little gadgets I love it!
ah i could really use a pedi!!!! love that you’re coaching your husband 🙂 thanks for hosting!!
Pedis are a must for me! Yes coaching the hubs is fun so far.
Hope you are doing OK with your little girl.. who obviously isn’t so little but the way I see it they will always be out little girls 🙂 The pedi thing looks amazing!!
They will always be our babies for sure! Enjoy yours today they grow so quickly. The pedi thing is amazing
So cool about your husband – will you race, too? Have a great labor day weekend!
Yes I will be running it with him and my son. I am so excited!
Very cool about coaching your husband. I’d be happy if mine would just walk the dogs without prodding! He used to walk them everyday when we lived in TX, but somehow he’s too “busy” now (despite traveling less and less heat).
I’m just not into virtual races. I like the real thing.
Well we’ve been battling the “I am too busy” excuse for years. I am so glad he finally agreed. Don’t lose hope you never know.
He worries about my running; I worry about his inactivity & poor eating habits. His father had dementia & it just kills me that he can’t see the harm he’s doing to himself.
But I also know it’s got to come from him. Thanks for letting me know there’s always hope.
How fun to have virtual coffee dates with your daughter. Also still can’t wait to hear about how the husband’s training is going! Hope you’re enjoying the weekend!
So far so good! Updates in a few weeks
The micro pedi looks interesting. I have a Ped-Egg but that is almost like a cheese grater. This tool looks a bit less “rough.”
Ha it is less rough than the pedi egg. It’s more like an electric pumice stone. It does feel nice!
Yay for virtual coffee dates! 😛 Modern technology definitely helps to make being away from family a little bit easier!
I hope you’re having a great weekend!
It sure does! I am sure it’s hard for you to be away from your family a lot too.
Ugh – FEET! I seriously want a foot transplant right now BUT the shaver thing looks cool!
I’ve had numerous foot issues the last 1 1/2 years myself it;s so annoying when all you want to do is run!
