pumpkin spice latte season

October means Pumpkin Spice Latte season in the coffee world. So here we are, ready for another Ultimate Coffee Date.

After reading here, head on over to visit Coco and Deborah, our awesome link-up hosts.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That ZOOMA Amelia Island is just around the corner and I’m kind of excited. I haven’t had a racecation in forever, and this will come at a perfect time. Yay. I hope the running part goes well, but I know the rest of it will for sure.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

It’s BANDTOBER. From what I understand, this means that my next six weeks are dedicated to marching band. We have football games, competitions, and all sorts of volunteer opportunities. I love it. Our first competition was postponed due to Hurricane Ian, but we will make it up. Because of rain and weather, we haven’t even seen the whole show in uniform, so we are hoping to at tomorrow night’s game. Fingers crossed.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That I had my training for poll worker training and secured two spots to work early voting, and my own precinct for general elections. It’s pretty exciting. Now I know more what to expect and am ready for action. I saw some familiar faces and it’s going to be good.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That the weather has made everything so much more tolerable. It’s still in the 80s during the day, but mornings and evenings are cool and pleasant, and perfect running weather. I am feeling incredibly energized, and that helps.

Over coffee, I would tell you…

That even though our weekends are basically double booked, we are still finding time to enjoy the spooky season. I made this spooky charcuterie board for a get together and it really got me in the mood.

What would you share over coffee? Are you ready for spooky season?

    Have fun at Amelia island. I wish I lived closer. Zooma races are the best.

    It’s cooler here too but those dark mornings and evenings depress me.

    Yes. I have a Halloween race on Oct 15 and bought all my candy. I’m ready.

    Oh yes, I am ready for spooky season! Our weather has also cooled down a LITTLE- 80s during the day and it’s gotten down to 70 a couple times overnight. Still looking forward to some true fall weather!
    Next week our middle schoolers are playing with the high school band for the football game- I can’t wait. And then next year my daughter will be in high school- I’m excited for it. It is a big time commitment, but the kids love it.

    I really should do that race in Amelia Island some time but the fall is always so busy here.
    I’ve been seeing your creations on IG and they look so good!

    LOL on Bandtober. I’m sure it will be a lot — I hope it’s a lot of fun.

    Good luck with Amelia Island.

    Your charcuterie board is cute! We don’t get into the Halloween thing much anymore since all the kids have vacated. I don’t decorate much, but we do hand out candy (though we don’t get many kids in our neighborhood). I am craving a good costume party, though!

    Your charcuterie board looks terrific – you are so creative!

    I think it’s great that you are working the polls!

    Good luck with the Zooma race! I think that would be a fun one to run at some point. Looking forward to hearing all about it!

      I haven’t run it in a few years. The course and the ownership has changed since then, so I’m excited.

      I haven’t voted by mail in a while. I want my sticker.

      It’s really a great gig and I’m happy to do it. It is a paid job (which makes me happier), but they need the help.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
