  1. You killed it on your mileage this month – congrats!! That’s awesome that you are traveling to the West coast this summer. Can’t wait to see all your adventures!

    I don’t drink coffee but I LOVE tea in all forms – hot, iced, it doesn’t matter, lol

  2. Great job with your mileage for the month…I can’t even imagine coming close to triple digits anytime soon, haha!

    I hope you have a great trip – my recent race in Seattle was a lot of fun, I just wish it wasn’t so far away. Alaska is definitely on my bucket list!

    • Thank you. I’ll be in Seattle for one day and then traveling to Anchorage and then to the boat.

  3. I prefer iced coffee over hot! I do hope I win the starbucks card! That’s a perfect summer treat!

    Are you going on a Alaskan cruise? We did one in 2011 and it was awesome. My favorite outing was the train ride through the white pass trail ( I think that’s what it was called). Enjoy!

    • Yes, that’s where I am going. My friend and I are taking a train from Anchorage to Seward.

    • Next summer already, huh? I went through my emails and saw that I booked my trip in August.

  4. You had some great mileage this month! Ive never tried lock laces but they sound great. and I love Starbucks:)

    • Thanks! Lock Laces are awesome! They do make a difference in running shoes. Another Starbucks friend! β€β˜•οΈ

  5. That’s some serious mileage! I like my coffee hot, although I’m starting to liking the cold brew more and more.

    • I know! I am nervous but excited too. I am going over my stuff (papers) to make sure I have everything I need. I will start packing maybe next week too so I don’t forget anything.

    • So true. Sometimes I do it too. Sometimes in the winter when it is very cold, I get an iced coffee. πŸ™‚

  6. I love iced coffee the most! I drink it all year round! Lock laces would really come in handy too!

  7. Depends if the weather is below freezing which is half the year then I would have hot coffee but the few precious months when the weather is nice is when I get iced coffee.

    • That makes sense. But I am know to get iced coffee during the cold winter months. πŸ™‚

Thank you for your comment!
