It’s time to sit back for a little chat and afternoon cup of virtual coffee. I’m joining Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date.

Don’t forget to visit our hosts as well as other blogs and leave a comment We all want to hear what you have to say. I’m going to get on with it before this becomes an evening cup of coffee.

If we were having coffee  I would tell you about the super hot weather we’ve been having. I have officially kissed June gloom good-bye. 🙁 I knew the heat would come but I didn’t expect it to be so soon and so hot! I guess it’s time to break the habit of slowly making my way out the door in the morning. No more dilly dallying for me.

If we were having coffee I would tell you the next time we meet for coffee I will have gone on my Alaskan cruise. I’m getting a little excited! My goal for Alaska is to enjoy fresh seafood, see some wild life and stay marathon fit. 

If we were having coffee I would tell you that my marathon training is going well, although I skipped my long run last week to go for a bike ride instead. My legs were tired after running in the mountains and I needed a break. Also I am now a bit concerned about the altitude for my marathon. I always run when I visit the cabin but not usually more than 4 or 5 miles. I did a 10k once in Big Bear and thought I was going to die.

Why I thought a marathon that starts in Big Bear was a good idea I’m not sure. I thought running was suppose to clear your head?

If we were having coffee I would tell you about our plan to redo our backyard. I want a clean, shady, comfortable place to hang out I have a vision in my head, I just hope I can transform it to a reality. More on the makeover to come. 😉

Tell me what’s going on in your piece of the world. Do you have a backyard that you love?  Have you been to Alaska? Did you see a bear or a whale? Are you training for anything? 

Thanks for reading! Until next time…

Keep running my friends!
