The-Ultimate-Coffee-Date2-1-600x600Welcome to the second Ultimate Coffee Date link up of 2017. One month down already – and now it’s February. I‘m linking up with Coco @ Running with Perseverance and Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner. What is the Ultimate Coffee Date? Imagine we are having coffee together… this post is what I would tell you. So grab a cup , “listen” and then tell me what is going on with you in the comments, please!

My Instagram shows some recent pics of life’s small pleasures…

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m doing everything I can to stay positive and optimistic given all of the uncertainty and craziness in the US at the moment. I would tell you that going to NYC and connecting with friends was very uplifting. I’ve also been focusing on doing what I can to support groups I believe in, small gestures of kindness and being grateful for life’s small joys. You can check out my Friday Five this week for more on all of that.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you about a fun running event I did this morning with Lululemon Chicago. Cheyne, a Lululemon Run Ambassador I met at the Run | ORD running retreat, ran 50 miles to support iGrow Chicago. The run was 4 x 12.5 miles with stops at Lululemon stores. Liv, Abby and I ran mid loop 1 to the same spot mid loop 2. You can learn more and donate here if you’re interested!
