5 Things I’d Tell You Over Coffee This August

It’s the first weekend of the month, so I‘m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. I can’t believe it’s August. I’m so really for fall – how about you? Are you a summer fan or is fall your fave like me?

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 I got a special care package from Cafe Grumpy. I also attended a call with the owner and the producer of this coffee from El Salvador. I wish you could smell it! It smells so good. They’re in NYC but you can buy online here.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I somehow inadvertently deleted almost all of my personal emails in Gmail. I was able to bulk reload a lot of them from trash but I still have about 40,000 left to go through. A lot are junk but I must admit, I’ve been enjoying going down memory lane since I opened the account in 2006. I’d ask if you’d bother going through them or just let them get deleted.

Next year more training less smiling!

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I ran my mile race on the track (after 10 years) and I didn’t die or come in last in my heat. I finished under 7 minutes (6:56) with a smile on my face so I’m going to call that a win. Next year, I’m going to do a little speed work to see if I can do better. It was a blast though. I loved cheering for all of my speedy friends!

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’m running the Lakefront Trail from bottom to top (18.5 miles, I think) on Sunday. A friend from England mentioned that he wanted to tackle it during his marathon training. I’ll be a bit early in my Chicago Marathon training cycle but it should be a fun experience so I said “why not?” It might rain but that’s better than a humid sweat fest. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that we’ve has some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets lately. I’d tell you to keep an eye on my Instagram stories. It’s creeping up later in the morning though. I’m not totally sad about it.

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