Ultimate Coffee Date – NYC Marathon ’21 Edition

It’s the first weekend of the month so I’m having some virtual coffee. I‘m linking up with Coco @ Running with Perseverance and Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner for the Ultimate Coffee Date.

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!

Another great mug from Run Ink!

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m SUPER excited to run my 21st NYC Marathon this weekend! The weather forecast looks perfect and I can’t wait to be back in NYC after TWO YEARS away. It’s just the best! If you’re running or know anyone who is, I’d tell you to check out my NYC Marathon tips post for runners and spectators on Runstreet’s blog.

From Runstreet’s 2019 NYC Marathon Shake Out Run

If we were having coffee… I’d invite you to the NYC Runstreet shake out on Saturday. I’m excited to see Marnie and Nimbe from Runstreet and to meet up with Lauren and Nicole. It’s been WAY too long since I’ve run with and hugged these friends. The run is 9 – 10:30 starting at Chelsea Market. Here’s the link to register.

Lucky gear – 2021 edition

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I decided to wear the SAME outfit as the Chicago Marathon. It happens that I wore almost the same outfit for Chicago and NYC in 2019. Are you wondering if I don’t have any other running clothes? I do, but this top is SO easy to spot. I’d ask if you had “lucky” or noticeable clothes that you wear on repeat.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m still stupid excited to get my 50th year running gear because I’m going to be 50 this year, too! Check out my Instagram stories to see what I wind up with!

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that after years of posting on this link, I met Coco (one of our hosts) and took her on a walking tour in Chicago! It’s so fun to meet internet friends IRL. I hope to meet more this weekend!

If we were having coffee… I’d ask “what’s happening by you?” Please tell me in the comments!

I’m linking up with DarleneMichelleReneeJenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday. Join us!

Have a good weekend!
