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 that time of the year and I am so ready. Those ocean sunrises are calling my name.
Delray Beach, FL
2. Over coffee…
I’d tell you that I will be running half marathon#71 and my first of 2025.
3.Over coffee…
I’d tell you that I’m excited that both Jenny and I are healthy enough to do it this year.
last Feb’s meet-up on the trails
4.Over coffee…
I’d tell you that I did run it in 2021 and it was a PW (due to the heat and humidity).
I looked happy here but I was NOT..
Four years later, my attitude (and speed) have changed. I may run it slower but I will be happy just to finish!!
5.Over coffee…
I’d tell you that NYRR Races sell out in a millisecond. Of course, the registration for the Mini 10k opened at noon on Jan 30 and I was teaching live…
But about 2 hours later (while I gave the class a practice)…
Well, that was stressful…
For $120, you could have purchased Member Plus and register for races 2 days before they open… Crazy!!!!! As a result, many sold out before they even went on sale.
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 the Running Teacher!
So Join in!
And don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other bloggers.
My First 5K and More... 
Enjoy your time in Florida! Have so much fun running your race with Jenny!

Thanks. Can’t wait.
Training in freezing temps and racing in warm temps will be a challenge. Glad to have company.

Just sent you a screen shot of our weather forecast- you may have a new PW next Sunday! That’s okay- I probably will too. I had a little glitch this week where my hip and hamstring went berserk, but I think it’s okay now. I went to my sports chiro for ART and an adjustment and it feels better. I WILL be running that race!!!

I maybe walking. As long as I stay upright and finish I’m ok.

I guess if there’s enough demand, they can charge a fee to have access to early entry. I remember back in the day you could register early for the Army Ten Miler if you’d done it enough times before — that seems kind of backwards!
I hope you have a great time in Florida!

Thanks. At least I won’t have to wear a down jacket and boots.

Have so much fun in Florida! We are driving home from our two weeks in Florida as I type. Our weather was pretty much perfect after that first cool day due to the earlier cold snap.

We have a few races that sell out that quickly! I’m glad you got in!
Our temps have gone way up! I don’t know if it’s going to be pleasant when you come, but you’ll have so much fun anyway!

Yeah so I’ve heard. It will be a welcome adjustment except on race day.

I hope you have a great time in Florida! It is stressful when a race sells out fast and you are trying to register. It is awesome that you were able to do it!
