February Coffee Date
It’s February, the non-official start to 2024. If you struggled to implement your 2024 goals and plans last month, you’re not alone. January is hard- the beginning of the month still felt “holiday-ish” to me, and the second half of the month brought on my post-holiday depression. But now I’m finally ready to dive into the new year. First, of course, I’m joining Deborah and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date. I’ll be drinking my usual Earl Grey tea out of my new mug, which was a Secret Santa present from San! On the subject of January goals, let’s just see how I did. I wanted to read six books (I read five), do the Knees Over Toes exercises three times a week (I did it twice a week) and sleep seven hours a night (which I did some nights, but not all- I’m getting there!) Overall, I’ll call it a January win and re-set those goals for February. The next thing I would share over coffee is that we have had the most beautiful weather lately. Several nights in a row it got down to the 40s! And by that I mean, 48 or 49- that’s just about the coldest we get here. Overall our winter has been cooler than usual (thank you, El Nino) and I’m loving it. Maybe I don’t have to move, after all. The most important thing I would talk about over coffee is, IT IS RACE MONTH. Yes! My big race- the Forgotten Florida 50 Mile- is on February 17th. You’ll be hearing more about this, because it’s pretty much all I can think about. I’m nervous about the logistics- it’s been a long time since I’ve traveled for a race- and obviously nervous about completing the distance (I’ve never run 50 miles.) And I’m also really excited! More thoughts, feelings, and goals for this race will be coming up. Do you feel like you crushed your January goals? Or did you need time to ease into the new year? Do you have anything exciting coming up in February?
