Welcome to the May Ultimate Coffee Date! Deborah and I hope your May is off to a great start, and encourage you to participate in our virtual get-together by linking up your post about what’s going on in your life and visiting and commenting on other coffee date posts. No need to rush–we’ll keep the link up open all weekend.

How do you recap a race that you’ve already recapped eight times? I will try to focus on what was different this time, but really it’s what is the same that makes this my favorite hometown race.
Spoiler alert: no PR, but I nailed my goal.
I stretched out my physical therapy as long as I could because I love the weekly tune-ups. I had my last session this week and got one final treatment before the GW Parkway Classic. My physical therapist is about to go out on maternity leave, which means I’ll have to get by on my own for a while.
I hope she doesn’t stay out too long, in case I need her help to get through my fall half marathon training.
My husband is a great shopper and has a knack for finding the *perfect* gift. He was so excited when he found lederhosen cycling kits, he wrapped them up for Valentine’s Day, even though it would be months before it would be warm enough to wear them.
That warm day came this weekend, and we wore them proudly on the Conte’s Alexandria group ride.
Today was another one of those days when the devotional reading grabbed my attention and wouldn’t let go. Anytime I hear the Bible passage that inspired me to choose Running With Perseverance as the name for this blog, I am going to listen closely, and nearly every time I find new meaning in it.
I forgot I had this photo from 2013
of the church down the road from me!
