It’s Friday, so I’m linking up with Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five. Since it’s the first weekend of the month, I‘m also linking up with Coco @ Running with Perseverance and Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner for the Ultimate Coffee Date, too.
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 it’s your turn to buy because it’s my birthday today. With this year flying by… here we are. It’s not a big one or an exciting one, but it’s a birthday regardless. Started off right with a 4 mile run with friends and birthday hats.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’ve been testing a new “smarter” coffee from THINKNOO. This instant coffee has nootropics. Nootropics are “drugs, supplements, and other substances that may improve cognitive function, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals.” I dig “the fat mocha” which has Colombian coffee, Chocomine, L-Theanine and MCT. It has a rich taste, but it’s not too sweet. It’s also vegan and keto friendly. I’d ask if you’d tried nootropics or other coffee boosters.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m excited to run CIM (the California International Marathon) this weekend with Lynn and Veronica. I’d also tell you that I’m super grateful (and kind of amazed) that I’ve been able to run 4 marathons this year and I feel great. This matches my all time high number of marathons run in a year which I did in 2001, 2005 and 2007. I deferred CIM twice so the third time’s a charm! Hoping for many smiles per mile.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you about our amazing trip to Greece. I wrote a post about it, but it barely scratches the surface. We loved every place we went. It was so varied in terms of landscape and history. We loved the delicious food, as well. I’d ask what your 2020 travel plans are – or what’s on your wish list. I’m excited for California for the holidays and my run trip with Janji to Mexico in January to start the year.
If we were having coffee… I’d ask if you’ve checked out my 12 days of giveaways posts. I’m giving away some awesome stuff from some of my fave companies. I’d also ask what’s on your holiday list this year.
If we were having coffee… I’d ask “what’s happening by you?” Please tell me in the comments!
Have a great weekend!
