Catching Up Over July Coffee

Happy Friday! It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday and I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. So grab your fave beverage and let’s catch up!

Catching Up Over July Coffee

Over coffee, I would start by telling you that I’m still streaking. I logged 54.6 miles in June and I’m hoping to match or surpass that total this month if Mother Nature will cooperate!

And, speaking of the weather, over coffee I would ask if you’re also dealing with a heat wave? We’re currently on day 3 of what looks to be a 4-day stretch of temps in the high 90s with a heat index hovering around 104. Thankfully the forecast is showing a break starting Sunday.

Over coffee, I would tell you how much I’ve been enjoying running in the new Paramount Max. Saucony reached out with an offer to test the shoes ahead of their July launch. Funny enough I used to only run in Saucony years ago until one of their annual design updates of the Triumph didn’t work so well for me and I moved on. Well, I’m glad I gave this new design a go – I absolutely loved these shoes right out of the box and I haven’t run in anything else for the past month and a half.

Lastly, over coffee, I would tell you how much I’m looking forward to our family vacation at the end of the month. We’re heading to Nova Scotia and P.E.I. – can.not.wait!
