Welcome to the July 2021 edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date. At last year’s July coffee date I celebrated my son’s very small (covid-compliant) backyard wedding ceremony. Now I’m feeling celebratory again, as we are looking forward to their wedding celebration–or whatever you call the fun part of the wedding they couldn’t hold last year–friends, family, food, dancing, etc. In the meantime, I’m happy to be kicking off July 4th weekend by hosting the Ultimate Coffee Date link up with Deborah.

This weekend I ran 10K for the Lawyers Have Heart on my own again. I won’t even call it a virtual race because I didn’t push my pace. I didn’t even plan a 10K route–I just stopped my Garmin at 6.2 miles so I would have a time to enter on the participation page.
