Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend. After our long eventful day in the car on Friday I spent Saturday working.
I did manage to get in a quick and easy 4 mile run in first though.
I tried out some great new compression socks from Crazy Compression.
I apologize for the grainy photo.
I also go another run in with my Skora Fit shoes. Really loving these. They are such a natural feel.
Completely random side note – but has anyone tried the Toasted Coconut Oikos yogurt? I tried it while babysitting – it was delicious!
We decided we’d had enough running around and spent a quiet evening at home on Saturday. It was just what I needed to regroup and relax after a couple crazy days.

I am aiming for a “long” run since I had to work Saturday. Not quite sure what it will end up being.
I have seen several other bloggers do a “virtual coffee date” and loved the idea. I thought I’d share a few things with you today that I would talk about if we were having coffee.

If we were having coffee this morning…
- I’d tell you I am counting down the days until we move. I am ready for a new beginning and a fun new adventure. That being said i’m also a little nervous because in many ways as my husband starts his first year of residency it is like beginning medical school all over again.
- I’d tell you I’m excited that my birthday is coming up this week. I will be 28. While I won’t say I am quite where I expected to be at this point in my life, I know I am right where I am supposed to be.
- I’d tell you how amazing it feels to be running again. I am already itching to be faster, but know that I need to take things slow and stay healthy first and foremost. I feel like I am finally putting myself and my body first.
- I’d tell you I’m bummed that my husband starts his emergency medicines rotation tomorrow. It has been so nice having a month together, but thankfully the end is in sight!
- I’d tell you that I finally faced my fears and put my dreams into action. I’m finally making the life I want for ME! Eventually I’ll go into detail fully once the kinks are worked out, but I’m proud and ready to create the life I’ve always wanted.
- I’d tell you that today I am going to try to go run one of my favorite running trails in Erie. I am really excited to get back out there.
If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
How did your training go this week?
My training went really well this week! I did a couple of brick workouts and a long ride on Saturday with a bike club. It was super windy, though!
Awesome week of workouts!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you how much I LOVED my run on Saturday-the longest I’ve ever ran without stopping. My training was pretty awesome this week. So proud!
Great job!! Nothing better than a great week of training 🙂
I would tell you I also got some crazy compression socks and was uber excited to try them out today but it is raining buckets out. 🙁 I would tell you that since it is raining and I haven’t run I am SOOO not motivated to do anything!!!! 🙂 Happy Sunday!
I wore mine today again, but had to put them under long pants since It was a bit too cold. I know how you feel though I am the same way when I don’t run – I am so much more productive when I get in a run!
Great job on your workouts this week! I ran 10 earlier this week but have slacked off since then. Love the crazy compression socks. Hope to win a pair in a giveaway I signed up for. Yes i’ve tried the toasted coconut yogurt. It was quite delightful. Goodluck on your move. Hope it goes well.
Thanks Lacey 🙂 Great job on your 10 miler! That is awesome.
Awesome workouts this week! I love the idea of virtual coffee 🙂 I’d tell you that I too am getting nervous/excited about our move for my husbands’ fellowship. I’d also tell you that while it’s going to be different with your husband going to residency you guys are going to be even more awesome together because you’ve made time for each other through med school (and before!) I’d also tell you I’ve got butterflies in my stomach for my race on Saturday!
That’s so exciting! Where are you going to be moving? That’s what I keep telling myself to! I am sure it will be fine but the “unknown” always makes me nervous!
Good luck on your race! That is always so exciting. I get nervous before races too, but you’ve got this!!
We’re moving to Cary, NC! It’ll be nice to get out of the cold weather and into some warm(er) weather! And I hear ya on the “unknown” thing, it’s what has me freaking out even though I’ve gone through the residency thing with him! Good luck to your husband on his ER rotation!
That’s so awesome! We used to live right by Cary. Great city!!
Your birthday is this week?? Mine is too!! What day?? Mine is the 11th. Still trying to decide what to do to celebrate!
If we were having coffee, I’d bond over birthdays with you, then tell you that I decided to register for a half marathon at the end of June. I also went
My birthday is the 9th! 🙂 Races are always a good birthday present to yourself!
I agree. 🙂 Happy early birthday!
You too! 🙂
…whoops, my fingers slipped. So hard to blog from my phone! I also went on a run with my dad Friday morning, which was a treat! Glad you’re back to running and hope you enjoyed your fave running trail!
Do compression socks work? I mean, they look cute, but are they worth it? Where are you moving?
I swear by them. I usually wear them on most runs but definitely for all workouts. I wear them after workouts too and it really helps my legs recover.
We move right around the first week of June. We are still finalizing the exact date!

Happy birthday by the way..{you young thing, I could almost me your mom ..Our oldest is 23} LOL I love moving, how fun, a fresh start, clean everything and getting to decorate, etc..so fun 🙂 I am still facing my fears at 47 and never stop..keep dreaming and go with your gut, listen to your heart 🙂 Come back next month and have more coffee with us

Hi Sara, I’m catching up on Coffee Date posts! One of the biggest benefits to link ups is finding new blogs and I’m glad I came across yours. Love it! I also love the multi colored compression socks 🙂
