One last coffee date and this year is a wrap. How can that be?? I’m linking up with Deb, Coco and you for the final Ultimate Coffee Date of the year.
If we were having coffee I’d be drinking a cup of this Gingerbread blend from Trader Joe’s. It has a subtle blend of ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and cloves that whispers holidays.
I’d tell you that I’m all packed and ready to jet off to Florida where Wendy and I are meeting up with a bunch of other bloggers. It’s going to be fabulous. Oh and there’s a race involved. Jury’s out though on whether I’ll partake. See below.
I’d tell you that my injured hamstring feels a little better every day. I don’t have any plans to run the half marathon in Panama City Beach I’d signed up for but there’s a possibility I’ll walk the 5k. Very carefully.
I’d tell you this is a really good time to hit up the gym. Seems like the rest of the world is wrapped up in holiday hoopla. I went the other day and found the pool, whirlpool and sauna EMPTY. Joy to the world!
Last but not least
I’d tell you that I freaking got in via the lottery to run the Berlin Marathon! Never in my wildest did I think this would happen on the first try but I’m SO glad it did! It’ll be my fourth race of the Marathon Majors and my first international full marathon. 2017 is my 10 yr. marathon anniversary and this will be THE PERFECT way to celebrate!
What’s new in your neck of the woods? Holiday plans? Racecations? Spill it!
I’m linking up with Meranda, Lacey and Rachel for the Friday Five.
Glad to hear your hamstring is feeing better every day! Too bad you won’t be able to race while you are in Florida, but it sill sounds like it will be a good trip. Congrats on getting intro the Berlin Marathon! Have a great time in Florida!
We will have so much to talk about this weekend–I’m excited to spend the time together!
