How About a Coffee Chat?

Anyone craving some chatting, maybe over coffee?

It has been a few weeks, and I do have a few things to bring to the coffee table (see what I did there?). Besides, it’s always nice to share some convo amongst friends.

I’ll get the party started…

If we were chatting over coffee, I’d begin with the deets of my May stats. Easily, this was the most miles in the running shoes, probably since last fall. Walking had a decent showing as well. And, the biking kinda sorta dominated,  with several miles (finally) on the trail!

If we were chatting over coffee, I’d have to gush over how good I’ve felt following my most recent race. Most know I ran the DAM to DSM Half Marathon last weekend (May 30th). I did the requisite long runs in preparation, and made it successfully across the finish line feeling good (albeit dehydrated, quite sweaty, and wet from the rain). Despite the ongoing hip stiffness in recent months, I had zero issues on race day. What’s even better is there were no DOMS, whatsoever, later that day or in the days following! Hmmm, maybe I just need to be running 13.1 miles on a daily basis (just kidding).

If we were chatting over coffee, I’d share a pic from Sunday evening’s full moon run. Mind you, this was merely 36-ish hours following the D2D 13.1 finish line. The night sky surprised me by being more clear than cloudy, so May’s Blue Moon was able to shine much brighter than expected. I was tentatively planning to do the run a day (evening?) later, but didn’t need to. Ironically, Monday’s evening sky was cloudy, LOL. I love it when the universe aligns to suit my craziness. 

Speaking of full moon runs, if we were chatting over coffee, I’d share this Facebook memory from six years ago. I think this was actually only my second “official” full moon run. As they say, the rest is history.

If we were chatting over coffee, I’d ask if anyone else celebrated Global Running Day? I was already planning on running anyways, but it’s a perfect day to do what we all know and love…run!

   

So, that’s a quick peek into what’d I be sharing, over coffee. 

I’m really looking forward to the summer season. After a somewhat dry and low-key winter (and early spring), I have plenty on the summer racing calendar. Stay tuned, there’s gonna be a lot of fun in the running shoes. 

Enough about me, what’s happening in your world? Anything to share over coffee? Is your summer calendar filling-up with fun stuff also?
