Welcome to the third Ultimate Coffee Date link up of 2017. Another year is off to a quick start. 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!
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that The Husband and I have started our leap frog of travels and not being in the same place at the same time. Absence makes the heart grow fonder – right? By the end of March our hearts will be very fond. One or both us will be away more than half the month. We’re traveling mostly for fun, and a little for work, so we really can’t complain.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m super excited to be heading to Expo West again this year. I can’t wait to try all of the foods/drinks and to meet many people. They’re expecting over 3,000 Natural Foods vendors. Here is the exhibitor list. What should I check out first?
I’ll meet up with my SIL and her family, some friends and perhaps my in-laws. I’m bummed that the 5K that Nicole and I ran last year is not being held, but I’ll enjoy some sunny running.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that our Cycle for Survival team raised almost $25,000 this year! It was another amazing day. Here’s my recap. I’m joining Alexandra’s Playground again for my 6th NYC Half Marathon to honor Alex Vitale and to raise money to build playgrounds for children in need. I’m planning another raffle this year, so if you want to enter early here is a link to my Crowdrise page. I’m kind of a big deal on Crowdrise, so I have some swag to share.
Anyone who donates $10 or more to my Alexandra’s Playground fundraiser (here) before I put up my raffle will be entered to win this “Decent Human” water bottle from Camelbak. (And then will be entered to win the other raffle prizes, too!) (US postal addresses only, must be 18 or over to win and void where prohibited.)
If we were having coffee… I’d ask if you’ve been watching This is Us. I have been LOVING it! The Husband’s not on board so I’ve been watching it and talking to Larry and Dan about it. I just love all of the feels! Are you watching?
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m still thinking about body image after watching Taryn Brumfitt’s Embrace. Brumfitt is a photographer who created a viral sensation by posting a super fit “before” shot (at a fitness competition) and a regular woman “after” shot. You can read my review and see a preview of the movie here.
If we were having coffee… I’d have told you some exciting news. It’s not quite time for a public reveal, so come back in April to hear all about it!
