I hope you’ve had a great weekend so far! We’ve been continuing to freeze in Philly (no exaggeration), but at least January is over! I have a lot that I’m looking forward to this month, from running to social events. And each day gets us closer to spring!
I’m joining Deborah and Coco’s Ultimate Coffee Date, better late than never! Be sure to check their sites so you can see what everyone’s talking about!
Coffee Date Catching Up
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that the super cold temperatures at this point are just obnoxious. We had a couple of days over 30 degrees, but we’re in another cold snap with sub-zero wind chills. The snow piles are high, and street parking anywhere besides in front of your own house is hopeless. I’m just grateful to have heat and electricity!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that I’ve entered the lottery for the Broad Street Run 10 Miler. It’s the very first race I did in 2011, and it would be my 4th time running it. The last time was in 2016. I know that there’s no guarantee I’ll make the lottery, so my backup plan is to be a charity runner. Broad Street means a lot to me as it spurred my now 15-year journey in running. I look forward to putting in the work and seeing how it goes!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…that despite running going well, I have been experiencing lower back pain for some time. I finally started physical therapy this past week. I’m not sure of the exact cause of pain, but I’m going to cut back on my lifting until I work with a pro to make sure I’m using correct form. I’ve got my list of daily exercises to do; I just need to stay on top of it!
If we were having coffee, I would ask you…if you were planning to watch the Super Bowl. We plan to, even though as a Buffalo Bills fan, I couldn’t care less about the outcome. I don’t know any of Bad Bunny’s music, but he was a lot of fun on SNL recently. I, among many others, am rooting for him to have a great halftime show!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…I’m so glad to be blogging again. It’s been a month since I returned, and it’s just nice to be back, reconnecting with my fellow blogger friends and long-time readers.
What would you share with me over coffee?
Yay! I’m glad you’re back! All the best with the Broad St. lottery. That would be fun. We don’t have as much snow as you do right now, but being well below freezing for over 3 weeks definitely wears on me. We do have just enough snow and ice to keep shoveling. The struggle is real. As a Bears fan, I could not have cared less about the SB outcome either. I think I heard one BB song I was familiar with. The music seemed joyful and fun.
Ahh! I hope it warms up for you soon! Definitely yay for heat/electricity though!
I hope your back feels better soon! Fingers crossed that the PT works! :]
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, but do kinda wish I’d been around to tune into the halftime show — it looked awesome! <3
So glad to have you back + blogging! :]
