It’s that time of the month…
time to join up with Coco & Deborah for their ultimate coffee date.
Over coffee…
I’d tell you that friends help make those miserable long runs better…
Over coffee…
I’d tell you that when running friends cannot run, we still keep each other company by eating together.
Over coffee…
I’d tell you that when we first starting planning race-cations, everyone in the group ran a half marathon,
2017
Each year, fewer complete the distance.
2023 (+2 who ran 18 miles)
This year, only 5 out of 10 have signed up for the half (and 2 are even injured.)
Over coffee…
I’d tell you that I may have become pumpkin-obsessed this year.
Over coffee…
I’d tell you that most of the treats above were for my mah jongg ladies and what they didn’t eat, my hubby consumed? Can you guess which I ate?
Happy Running! What’s new with you? Please share.

I love that running is such a social activity for you, whether or not they’re running the half! I do love to embrace all the pumpkin too! I have pumpkin spice coffee creamer but that’s about it this year. Ha!

You need more pumpkin spice in your life.
I’m glad too that we remain friends even if we don’t run.

Hmm, how was the pumpkin spice Gu? I do like pumpkin spice, but not sure if I’d like those.
Glad you have friends to run with you! Not that many long runs left, right? You can do it!

I like the GU… otherwise I eat salted caramel… I hate the sweet fruity ones.
The hard ones are left… gulp!!

Everything is better with friends – especially running.

That is definitely a truth! I feel like the only time I ever ran regularly = with a friend or significant other.
I haven’t had pumpkin spice anything yet but it’s early! I’ll get something soon! 😛

Yes, it’s early… plenty of time to indulge.
Agree… much easier to not procrastinate if someone is waiting for you.

Pumpkin-spiced gels?! That’s so cool!
You’re going to laugh at me now, but I only recently learned what pumpkin spice is. I’ve been readin American blogs on and off for many years, and always thought it was something special related to Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie, then just some day ago I learned it’s simply what we call Christmas spices. LOL!
So now with this new knowledge I can appreciate everything US-based bloggers say about pumpkin spiced whatever!
I love that you have so many running friends and that you have so much fun together!
