One Last Coffee Date for the Year

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.

Gingerbread coffee

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

berlin-marathon

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!

It’s time for one last #coffee date for the year. Stop by and chat! #ultimatecoffeedate

  5. Congrats on that Berlin lottery! Exciting! I don’t want to run races but I am envious of all your travel! 🙂

    I was wondering about the TJs coffee too. Not sure I will buy but I was hoping they would test it in one of my stores – not yet. 🙂

    Hoping you heal! Hamstring injuries are no fun! I had a bad one that took forever to heal.
