It’s the first weekend of the month, so grab your mug for a coffee date. I‘m linking up with Coco @ Running with Perseverance and Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner for the Ultimate Coffee Date. This year is flying by and this Sunday is the Chicago Marathon already – eek! Before we know it, there will be egg nog and Christmas trees. There are so many fun things I’d tell you about happening in October now, though!
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 I’m very excited for the Chicago Marathon this weekend. It looks like it will be good weather and a huge field. I volunteered at the Expo yesterday and loved chatting with excited people from all over the world. This is my fifth time running Chicago. I won’t be my fastest (2001) but hopefully it will be the most fun. I have lots of friends and Neal cheering for me which is awesome!
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that we’re having a shakeout at Arc’teryx Chicago and there’s still time to sign up to join us! RSVP here. We’re running 5K and hitting mile 5 and mile 11 of the course. We’ll have goodies from Blake’s Seed Based, Salis, Red Belly Honey (new CBD gummies), Pickle Juice, Mayawell and Javi Water! Plus a gear giveaway. There are ton of awesome marathon related events. I didn’t sign up for much because I’m still kind of beat from Expo East!
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I had a great time back East visiting Larry and Dan and going to Expo East. If you missed it, here’s my recap. There were 1,200 vendors and lots of great new products and line extensions from some of my favorite brands. Some of my fave new finds were Lattini Sunflower Seed Milk, Nfuse Magnesium Lotion, Abby’s Better Nut Butters, Fillo’s Walking Tamales and liquid supplements from YouTheory. Stay tuned for reviews and giveaways here soon! Have you tried anything new and exciting lately?
If we were having coffee… I’d ask what you’re watching and reading. I’d tell you that I’m reading/listening to The Winners, the last book in the Beartown series by Frederik Bachman, and we’re watching Bad Sisters on Apple+. Both are awesome.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that next month is our 20th wedding anniversary and we haven’t planned anything yet. If we did a last minute long weekend trip, would you vote for Paris, London, Montreal or somewhere warm/tropical? I’d ask if you have any travel coming up or plans for the holidays.
If we were having coffee… I’d ask “what’s happening by you?” Please tell me in the comments!
I’m linking up with Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn and Zenaida, for Fit Five Friday. Join us!
PS. Please don’t forget my great giveaways.
