Coffee-Talking…

Well, how do you like the heat? 

Most know I’m a fan of all things summer. The calendar now says “Fall,” but I’ve been basking in all kinds of Summer. 

Even when the temps are toasty, I’m still taking my “coffee” hot, LOL. And, let me clarify, by “coffee,” I’m drinking foo-foo cappuccinos (and not actual coffee). 

 Alas, we have a new month in front of us. There’s no better time than now to gather for a coffee talk.

Shall we?  

At our coffee talk, I’d start with my September stats. I’m happy with all my numbers. The weather was a bit sketchy, earlier in the month, so I wasn’t able to get out on the bike trail as much as I’d preferred, but did do a few longer rides on the spin bike. Running saw its second highest amount in almost a year (May had 87). And walking was stellar! 

At our coffee talk, I’d bring up the weather (with joy!). As mentioned, the summer season has been extended, and that means more time in sweaty tank tops, messy headbands, and water on-the-go for some of the runs. No complaints!

At our coffee talk, I’d feel the need to whine a bit about the biking miles. Although the mileage was nice,  September saw a lot of indoor miles on the spin bike. Gulp. We’re talking 61 outdoor miles compared to the 89 indoor ones. Sadly, those outdoor miles are probably going to be even less in October… 

At our coffee talk, I’d tell you that I’m bringing back the daily push-ups! I had a substantial streak going (for a couple years, I believe), and somehow I got out of that daily routine. I can’t even remember when it happened (I’m guessing it was maybe in the spring or early summer). I’m only a week or so in, but already they are feeling easier than they were on Day-1.

Finally, at our coffee talk, I’d have to share a big fat coffeefession: I still cannot stand the taste of coffee, LOL. A month ago, or so, I made the commitment to give coffee a chance, and it’s been a fail. I’ve tried hazelnut blends, caramel-lover’s roast, and I have added sugar and/or cream (often three “mini cups”) to no avail. As heavenly as that steaming cup smells, it still tastes like …coffee. Honestly, I cannot taste a difference when the sweeteners are added or if I drink it black (gag!). I’m still forcing it down on occasion (for the caffeine, not the flavor), but I really don’t see myself morphing into a coffee connoisseur. And I‘m alright with that.

If we were gathered together, what would you share with the group? And, more importantly, what would you be drinking?

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