June Coffee Chat

Over coffee, I’d start by telling you how much fun I had volunteering at the Girls on the Run 5K Celebration! The weather was terrible – cold, windy, and oh so much rain, but it did not dampen the girls’ enthusiasm. I worked as a course marshall and got to see up close how determined they all were – really such a great event! I’m looking forward to hopefully working with the organization more in the future.

Over coffee, I would tell you that this month I’m taking in the #StreakingwiththeCoolKids Challenge. The goal is to either run or walk 1 mile every day in June. I wanted to log more miles walking on my non-run days, so this challenge fits the bill nicely!

Over coffee, I would ask you what you’re currently reading? I recently finished Theo of Golden and Sara Hall’s memoir For the Love of the Grind. The pacing of Theo was uneven and sometimes plodding, and I wasn’t a big fan of the book’s heavy-handed messaging.  I did enjoy learning more about Sara Hall’s story and admired her ability to come back time and again from injury to have such a long career. While I have a couple of other memoirs on my TBR list, I prefer to not read them back-to-back – so next up? Anatomy of an Alibi.

What would you tell me over coffee? Any big plans for June?
