Odd October Coffee Date

Posted on October 2, 2020 by Coco

The passage of time has been odd since the pandemic shut things down. Some months dragged on forever, while some flew by. It feels like an eternity ago when our coffee talk was filled with race plans and travel photos, but it’s also hard to believe it’s October already. No matter what things are like where you are, Deborah and I welcome you to the virtual October Coffee Date. Make sure you visit other blogs in the link up–no masks required. 😉

Spending Time Investing In Myself

Posted on September 13, 2020 by Coco

My morning exercise routine has gotten out of control. Over the past few months, I’ve added daily core workouts, nearly daily 3 mile runs, and–at least for  this month–a daily yoga class, without subtracting regular strength workouts and stretching. And, I still need to walk Scooby if I don’t take him for a run.
