Posted on November 8, 2020 by Coco

You know how much I love the Peloton strength and treadmill classes, and you know I love cycling. If you read my blog before March, you know I used to love going to Cyclebar. And you probably know how much Deborah, Kim, Zenaida, and now Michele love their Peloton bikes. So, it won’t come as much of a surprise that I came ^thisclose^ to getting a Peloton bike.

My birthday is still a week away, but I’m already thinking about birthday cake. I’m going to imagine I’m enjoying a slice while we get together for our virtual November Coffee Date. My co-host Deborah is celebrating her birthday this month too–as are a number of our coffee date regulars–so there are plenty of reasons to celebrate!

New Strength Exercises I Learned From Peloton

Posted on November 1, 2020 by Coco

I love the diversity of the instructors, the variety of the classes, and I love that I’ve learned new strength exercises.

Obsessive October Runfessions

Posted on October 30, 2020 by Coco

Trick-or-treating may not be happening until tomorrow–if it’s happening at all this year–but since it’s the last Friday of the month it’s time to make our way to the runfessional at Marcia’s Healthy Slice. There, we can cleanse our soles with our October runfessions and get ready for a fresh start in November.

Moving Through A Fall Fog

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Coco

I know weather can affect my mood, but sometimes the weather does a really good job of reflecting my mood. This week’s foggy mornings mirrored my Groundhog Day feelings. I often woke up unsure of what day it was, and then found myself wondering if it even mattered. I felt like I was moving through a fall fog even after the sun came out.
