If we were having coffee, I would ask if you’ve heard that this year we have the longest possible “summer” if you measure summer from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. That’s because Memorial Day fell on the earliest date possible for the last Monday in May, and Labor Day will fall on the latest date possible for the first Monday in September. I can’t help but wonder if my son knew that when he decided not to work this summer ….
If we were having coffee, I’d have to share my pictures from the local Sweat Pink event that Mar organized for us at the Athleta store in Georgetown. It was hectic getting into the city on Memorial Day weekend, but I’m so glad that so many local Sweat Pink bloggers were able to make it.
Me, Erica @ MCM Mama; Alexis @ Flecks of Lex; Deborah @Confessions of a Mother Runner; Mar @ MarOnTheRun; Jenny @ Run Jenny Run; Kathryn @ From Dancing to Running; Cynthia @ You Signed Up For What?! (and her mini-me!) and Colleen @ Live Free and Run.
We had the store to ourselves for an hour of shopping, and then a full hour long yoga class led by Cathy from Yoga Del Sol. I’ve been slacking on yoga lately, even though it always feels so good when I do it. My arms were shaking during the chaturanga series, but my hips loved that Cathy include happy baby pose in the final sequence.
If we were having coffee, I would ask if you saw my Instagram pictures from my business trip to Hilton Head last week? (Follow me on Instagram here.) This will probably be my only trip to the beach this year, so I made sure to get up in time to catch the sunrise.
Watch the whole slideshow (6 pictures) for the sunrise sequence.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I am trying to stay positive about recovering from my hiking mishap on Memorial Day weekend. It was frustrating not being able to run on National Running Day (did you see the National Running Day survey link up?), but I’ve done my best to stay motivated with indoor cycling and my strength workouts.
This was from last Thursday–but the swelling is still going up and down.

So sorry about your injury ! I am not a big beach person but will definitely make it a couple times. I prefer it in the evening when it is cooler and there are fewer people. Thanks for the link up !
I’m so sorry you’re injured – do you have any idea how long it will be before you can run again? Your pics from Hilton Head were beautiful – I can’t wait to hit the beach but it probably won’t be until August.
Doc said 4-6 weeks — until it stops hurting.
Bummer on the injury but good job staying positive… I never saw the running day survey!!
It was great to see you last week. What a beautiful sunrise. I can’t wait to see all of the sunsets in Hawaii. Longest summer possible sounds pretty good to me. Fun catching up today!
Those are gorgeous sunrise pictures! I hope your injury heals soon. I am going to the beach, very soon actually. Where we go, the sun sets over the water. I’ll have to remember to get pics. As for yoga, I wouldn’t know the name of a pose…except downward dog. My dog Mini practices all the time.
Down dog is a good one to know. 😉
I’m so sorry about your hurt foot. Yuck. Glad you’re taking good care of it.
And I’m glad I was up early today to squeeze in a post so I could catch up.
Me too! I can’t wait to catch up in person at Fitbloggin!
Yey for long summer and Sweat Pink meetups. I wish I could have come! I’m not a big beach person, but I’m hoping to get up the lake a bunch this summer 🙂
Sorry about your injury! I didn’t run either on National Running Day, due to a chest cold, but it is sort of like mother’s day…EVERY day is Running day!
Hah! Except when you’re injured…. 😉
That sounds like a great event! An hour of shopping followed by yoga? Great way to start the day!!
Loved, loved, loved the sunset sequence photos!!!
Thanks! I enjoy watching it again too. 😉
That sunrise is beautiful! We have our first beach weekend in 2 weeks and I cannot wait! I love the group picture! You big city girls are lucky that you can do things like that- I am jealous! and my favorite yoga pose? The one at the end of class- AWWWW!!! Happy weekend Coco!
Honestly, that’s my least favorite, because I am usually ready to be DONE and getting on to the next thing. I am such a reluctant yogi!
Boo! for the injuries. I hope you get better soon. I love Hilton Head and your photos were beautiful. Oh, I so wish I could have an Athleta store to myself for an hour. I would consider that major pampering. 🙂
It was really nice – we had the sales people to ourselves too! Of course, that made spending money that much easier ….
I got accepted to #sweatpink the Ties after that meet up. Missed it by a couple of days 🙁
That beach pick is beautiful. I am going to MIAMI at the end of July.
Oh, bummer! I hope we do something again soon!
This is my first time joining you at the Ultimate Coffee Date linkup– I really enjoyed your update. I’m in the Maryland area and recently joined the Sweat Pink group for MD/VA/DC. I was bummed to miss the yoga event. Hopefully I can make it out to the next event and meet you and the other ladies in person 🙂
I’m so glad you joined the link up and the SPA group! The D/M/V SPA group just got reactivated so I do hope there are more events. It is always fun to meet blogger friends in person.
Thanks for hosting the linkup! I was so sad to miss the Sweat Pink event 🙁
We missed you too! Hopefully there will be another event soon.
Mother Nature in Chicago missed the summer memo, so thank goodness it will be a long one!
Sorry about your ankle! Hope you are on the mend!
That event looks fun – giving me some Chicago #sweatpink inspiration!
This linkup is always fun! Love the sunset picture, and that’s cool you were able to get together with the SweatPink gals! I wish I could find more of us in the Philly area and do a similar event!
Aww, that looks like so much fun! I really hope I can go to a blogger meetup at some point in time! That sunrise looks gorgeous! <3
Sorry to hear about your injury! :[ I hope you have a super speedy recovery!
