Grab a Cup for the May ’23 Ultimate Coffee Date

It’s the first weekend of the month, so I‘m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. After a busy March, I’m looking forward to one big event this April – The Boston Marathon! Let’s chat about this and other April fun!

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 riding in Cycle for Survival on Saturday for the 12th year. All funds go to support rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Since its inception, Cycle for Survival has raised over $300M to fight cancer. I’m super proud to support this amazing cause and love participating in this event. You can support our team here.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that running tours are picking up with two this week. I’m excited to be giving a tour for a running industry conference next week.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I had a blast on a recent 24 hour trip to NYC. My friend Shona was in NYC after working at a conference in DC. We met living in Brooklyn in the early 2000s but she’s from the UK and now lives in Mozambique. We last saw each other in 2013. I flew in for dinner, a run, brunch and a little touring around. It was so worth it! I’d ask if you ever took a last minute whirlwind trip to see a friend.

If we were having coffee… ..I’d tell you that one of my close friends from college came for a day to visit me in Chicago this week, too. We had such a lovely day walking and talking all over Chicago and trying a new restaurant for dinner. There’s something magical about old friends. Right?

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m excited to be planning some summer and fall travels. I’d ask if you have anything fun coming up!

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 great weekend!

PS. Please don’t forget my great giveaways.
