A Chatty Holiday Gathering

 

How is it already time for not only the winter season, but also the holidays? 

Alas, it’s also time for the final coffee chat of the year. Wow, didn’t see that coming quite so quickly!

What ya say? Shall we make a go of it, and do some hot beverage sipping and chatting?

If we were gathering and chatting, I’d start with my November stats. Hmmm, I guess things were consistent and stable, but there was nothing really stellar going on, LOL. I’m thankful that I’m at least keeping active on a daily basis and am not succumbing to the couch after especially busy work days. Glass half full! 

If we were gathering and chatting, I’d share that I was invited to become a board member with my running club! Granted, my free time is already pretty limited, but this feels like a worthwhile venture. I’m all about sharing my passion for running, as well as meeting new peeps who share similar interests. Giving back to the sport I so enjoy is a no-brainer.

If we were gathering and chatting, I’d also mention my lack of MOJO with this year’s Run Streak. I’m excited to explore new 1-mile routes in my new locale, but most of those routes will be in the dark (due to my work schedule). I was hoping to check-out a few routes near my office, but we have not yet moved to our new permanent location, and there are not any options where we’re currently residing. Sigh. It’s a big-time first world problem, so I’m trying to not let it encompass too much real estate in the fitness center of my brain.

If we were gathering and chatting, I’d runfess my Peloton MOJO is also dwindling. I love the strength workouts, but they changed their fee structure this past year. With my precious limited available time, I just can’t see dropping more coin to upgrade. Having access to biking and treadmill workouts (which were cut from my current plan) would do me no good if I’m not able to squeeze them into my already full day. I’ve even let a few days slip by sans a Peloton workout (#gasp). I did get a big “Congrats on your 5-day streak” recently, which made me laugh since I’d had MUCH longer Pelo streaks prior, LOL.

Finally, if we were gathering and chatting, I’d tell you about a super fun event from last weekend. A group of us had a team for Elf Trivia Night, and we came in third place (the second place team beat us by only one point). I’m not a Will Ferrel fan, but I do love his portrayal of Buddy! Some of the trivia questions were very specific and tricky (like the color of the towel from the shower scene). Still, it was a fun night!

Anyways, I think I’m due for a refill (it’s been a very cold week here, and I’ve been slamming the hot beverages like crazy). I’ll step aside and let you have the floor…

Tell me, what would you want to share if we were gathering and chatting? 

Since it's the first weekend of the month, I'm linking this with Deborah and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date.
