It’s the first weekend of the month and of 2025, so I‘m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. As usual. I’m starting the year with fitness, healthy meals and planning for the new year. And, of course, coffee… lots of coffee.
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 ask if you’ve made any New Year’s resolutions and tell you that I haven’t. I have some goals and intentions but I feel a better mindset for me is to start every day off fresh instead of waiting for a “reset” button. What do you think?
If we were having coffee… I’d ask if you’re planning any trips. I’m in Los Angeles right now and am heading to Las Vegas to visit my mom and meet my brother and his family. Next up for me is a trip to Japan to run the Tokyo Marathon and then Expo West. A few weeks later, I’ll head to NYC for the Half Marathon with Alexandra’s Playground. And that’s only up to mid-March! It will be another busy year.
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that we didn’t go to California for the Christmas/Hanukkah this year, but went for New Years. For Christmas, we celebrated with Larry and Dan in Milwaukee in their beautiful new home with some of their new friends. I also led a Zoo Lights run for Arc’teryx, went on a holiday history and lights tour (reel) and Stacy and I went to Illumination at the Morton Arboretum (reel). And earlier in the month, I visited with many long time friends in NJ and NYC.
If we were having coffee… I’d ask what you’re reading and watching and what your favorite books, movies and shows were last year. I’ve been enjoying checking out people’s faves from 2024 – here are Wendy’s we have similar taste in books! We’re about to finish 6 Feet Under as we didn’t watch it back in the day. Great show but not for the faint of heart. What are you reading and watching?
If we were having coffee… I’d tell you that I’ve tried some fun new products that I’ll be sharing on the blog soon. I’d ask what new products or trends you’re interested in checking out this year.
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.
