It’s time to sit down once again with a beverage of your choice and chat – I’ll remind you that I don’t like coffee or tea so my drink of choice today will be water. Let’s chat about things other than just running, cycling, strength training, yoga, and our most recent injuries. Sound good? I’ll go first…

 

If we were having coffee…..

I’d tell you that August turned out to be a good month in the fitness department for me. Cycling came in strong at 699 miles, walking showed a consistent three walks per week, and strength training had to be modified to shorter sessions of core and lower body only later in the month after two minor surgeries to remove two skin cancers.

 

If we were having coffee…..

I’d tell you that I’m ready for a new chapter and hope to have a big reveal just in time for our next coffee date. In the meantime, stay tuned on my Instagram for updates on what I’m putting in my newly created empty space.

 

If we were having coffee…..

I’d tell you that painful feet seemed to be the theme of the evening at our niece’s wedding on Saturday. Even though the heels on my shoes were relatively low, my toes didn’t like being squished into the pointy tips. Once I saw that the bride had changed to sneakers, the groom’s mom had on hightop sneakers (she’d broken her foot at a previous wedding and can no long wear heels), and many other women had ditched their shoes completely, I sneaked up to our room after dinner and slipped into my pink Crocs. I’ve never gotten so many complements on my choice of footwear and my feet have never appreciated me more!

 

If we were having coffee…..

I’d tell you that I recently offered to divide and repot the bromeliad of a client if he’d give me one of the five pups that had grown next to its base. One day he showed up with the original plant, a bag of potting soil, and four additional pots. My client was thrilled with the results and I got to adopt a new plant!

 

If we were having coffee…..

I’d tell you that I thought it would be fun to share a few weird and fun facts about myself:

  • • I have two different colored eyes, in fact my left eye is two different colors. My right eye is a blueish gray, but my left eye is that blueish gray on top and brown and green mixed on the bottom. It’s called sectoral heterochromia when one eye’s iris has two or more different colors.
  • • I sneeze twice every time I eat a muffin, usually after the very first bite.
  • • I am left handed and constantly get my left and right sides mixed up. In fact, when I was little, my mom used to say, “Your other left hand, Debbie.”

 

  • Questions:
  • • Tell me a fun or weird fact about yourself!
  • • If you’re a runner, do you have your race medals displayed or tucked away somewhere? ~ I never thought I’d want to take ours off the wall, but now that I can no longer run/race, it’s time for a new chapter! BTW, in the picture the top row of medals belongs to my husband.
  • • If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
