It’s May! And I’m getting this month started by joining one of my favorite link-ups, The Ultimate Coffee Date. Thanks to Coco, Lynda and Deborah for hosting!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that the forecast is finally showing real signs of consistent spring weather, and I cannot wait to get into my garden this weekend and start planting. Despite the harsh winter, many of my plants look to be in better shape than I thought they would be, but I’ve still got a fair amount of work to do!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that while this week started off a bit hectic, that seeing my son start to feel better, a massage and spending the afternoon doing a little retail therapy with a friend helped to turn things around!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that I’m actually looking forward to my appointment this week with the orthopedist, cause I need someone to help me get to the bottom of what’s going on with my left knee. Running continues to be a real challenge and I’m not feeling good about my two spring races.
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that believe it or not my blog turned 5 this past week! It’s really hard to believe that I have been running, and writing about it, for five years! I so appreciate all of you who have been hanging out with me during this ride 🙂
If we were having coffee together, what would you tell me? What have you got planned for this weekend?
YAYYYY for consistent spring weather! My friend’s been so wary of planting anything because she’s worried they’ll just get murdered by a random frost!
Happy belated blogiversary! <3 I'm glad things are turning around for you this week, and hope that you have a super awesome weekend! :]
I had the same worry as your friend, but hopefully we’ve finally turned the corner here and the weather will stay on the warmer side. Enjoy your weekend!!
Oh, happy 5th year of blogging! The time just flies, doesn’t it? I hope the ortho has some good news for your knee!

Thanks Coco! Time really does fly!
I hope you get good news about your knee and can enjoy your spring races. A massage sounds like a perfect way to turns things around. Shopping is always good too. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks Deborah – it really doesn’t feel like it’s been that long!
I am so excited for consistent spring weather! The real downer has been really cold temps in the mornings and evenings so fingers crossed that starts to go away. Congrats on 5 years! That’s a wonderful accomplishment!

Thanks Meghan 🙂
Hey! My blog turned 5 this year, too! Hooray!
Congrats Tara! Happy 5!
Happy 5 years of blogging! I hope your ortho appointment goes well and you can get the knee issue resolved. I recently had some issues with my knee but a new pair of running shoes did the trick. Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks Jenny! Glad you were able to get your knee issues resolved!
I too love it when the weather starts to even out! It has been gorgeous weather in Iowa lately. I am loving going running without all the layers!
So glad you got a massage and retail therapy. That sounds so nice!
Congratulations on having the blog for 5 years!!! That’s awesome!

Running without layers sounds good to me! Hopefully we’ll get a good dose of that around here this week.

Thanks Lily!
If we were having coffee together, what would you tell me?
Well, I would probably tell you that I’m really enjoying running right now, with no real goals but just running for the love of it. 🙂 I’m reminded how I love running even without having a race to train for at this moment.
That’s so cool that you’ve been blogging for 5 years. 🙂 What have been the best blogging tips you could give a newbie blogger like me?

It’s nice to hear you’re enjoying running for the pure joy of it. Hopefully when my knee cooperates I can get back to that! I don’t know that I have any great blogging tips – the best advice I got when I first started was just to be true to myself. I think being authentic is important!
five years! congrats – that’s so awesome. i hope you get some answers at your doc visit!

Thanks Courtney!
I hope the orthopedist figures out what is going on. It is always better to know. I hate not knowing.
