Once again, it’s time for some chatter, coffee and kinship.
It’s been a cold 2026 thus far. I’m always up for a warm beverage, and it’s a given I enjoy some friendly conversation with my peeps.
Care to join me?
As we’re gathering over coffee , I’d start the conversation with my January stats. I’ve got mixed feelings on these numbers. My running miles are WAY down (I blame the insanely extreme cold and psychotic wind). My walking is legit, thanks to the skywalk (my go-to over the lunch hour). My biking miles, though, are looking pretty sweet (no regrets there).
As we’re gathering over coffee, I’d have to gush over the sneak peek of Spring we had this week. The temps were in the low-50F range on Thursday. Can I say it was euphoric to go for a run with bare legs? Yes, 50F temps feel pretty balmy in February!
As we’re gathering over coffee, I’ll tell you about my February Challenge. My abs are feeling (and looking) mushy. Ugh. So, I brought back the daily 3X1-minute gig, featuring 1-minute forearm side planks (each side) and a 1-minute wall sit (because my quads are needing some toning as well). So far, so good.
As we’re gathering over coffee, I have to whine a tiny bit about the my achy back. It’s deep into basketball season, so I’m spending more time than usual on the couch watching my Hawkeyes and Spartans. I’m usually slouched in a comfy position, sharing some popcorn with Max…only to feel like the Tinman when I try to stand afterward. Not an ideal situation, but manageable.
Finally, as we’re gathering over coffee, I’ll tell you about a couple more daily games I have been doing on repeat for a while now. These games found me, via LinkedIn. One game is Zip, which is kind of like a timed numbered maze challenge. The other is Mini Sudoku, which is similar to the traditional version, but timed as well. Obviously, I am quite the intellect, LOL.
Anyways, as we’re gathered over coffee, I’m realizing that I’m due for a refill. That said, I’ll let someone else have the floor.
That’s all I got for now. Anything you’d like to share?
Since it's the first weekend of the month, I'm linking this with Deborah and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date
Those January stats totally make sense. With that wind and cold, biking miles are a smart swap. Nice to get a hint of spring in February!
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out those two games, Zip and Mini Sudoku. I love little daily games, I'll definitely have a look at those!
