It’s that time of the month…
time to join up with Coco & Deborah for their ultimate coffee date.
1.Over coffee…
I’d tell you that it’s a good thing that I have a large skirt collection. As you may know Skirt Sports is no more.
I am grateful for my years as an Ambassador (since 2015) because it brought some wonderful people into my life.
Will I stop wearing skirts?
Never!

I’m not the only one in my area who wears them either.
2. Over coffee…
I’d tell you that I was a loyal Topos shoe wearer. It seemed to cure my neuroma pain.

But now Altra makes a shoe with a 4mm heel drop and a wide toe box.
I may be a convert.
3.Over coffee…
I’d tell you that once I decided that I liked the Altras, Topos came out with a new shoe…

Hmmm?
4.Over coffee…
I’d tell you that nothing cures racing depression than running another race.
So glad that I had signed up for one of our local turkey trots.
5.Over coffee…
Speaking of races, I’d tell you that next week, I’m off on my last race-cation of 2023. This one destination is new to me – Tampa, Florida. I’ve never been.
The mug at the top is a clue to what race I’ll be running.
Happy Running! What’s new with you? Please share.
It’s Friday so I’m also linking up with bloggers, Me (My First 5K and More), Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and Zenaida!
So Join in!
And don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other bloggers.






Oh, wow, have fun in Tampa! My ILs live in Bradenton, which is sort of a suburb I guess.
LOL on curing post-race blues by racing, That’s what keep races in business. 😉

You’ve never been to Tampa! You’ll love it there- it’s a really nice city.
Yes I also love the Altras!!! They are so, so comfortable on my feet, and I haven’t felt that way about a shoe in a long time. I’d be curious to hear how they compare to the Topos.
I hope you have fun on your race-cation!

The race is in Tampa but my friends live somewhere an hour away… inland.
I plan to race in my Altras but I’m sure the weather will affect my experience not the shoes.

As I’ve commented, the race (and airport) is in Tampa but Deirdre lives an hour away so aside from the race, I won’t be seeing Tampa.
Looking forward to warm sunny weather!!! But you never know with Florida… it can go either way.

You will love Tampa! I ran one of the Gasparilla challenges there years ago. It’s a fun city. Crazy about Skirt Sports. I did not see that one coming.

It seemed to be going downhill after Nicole left.
I’d like to run Gasparilla at some time.
