Thirsty Thursday August Beer Roundup

Posted on August 29, 2013 by Coco

It’s been a while since I’ve written a “Thirsty Thursday” post and shared some of the new beers I’ve tried.

Be My Running Partner

Join Me On My Mezamashii Run

My friend Sue calls them “run forever” runs. Mizuno calls them “mezamashii” runs. It’s those runs that make you feel glad to be alive, when everything feels great, when you feel like you could run forever. I had one of those runs this weekend, and I’d love for you to be my running partner and join me on my mezamashii run.

I’m wearing my Zensah compression socks and new Mizuno Wave Sayonara for performance and visibility for our o’dark-thirty start time. 🙂
