Let’s Have a Cup of Tea

May 2, 2015 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC25 Comments

I’m so excited to link up with three fun ladies, Coco, Lynda and Deborah (Got 2 Run 4 Me, Fitness Mom Wine Country and Confessions of a Mother Runner) again for the April coffee date. For me, it’s a tea date because I don’t drink coffee. Thanks, ladies for hosting – I love this linkup! 

The Ultimate Coffee Date

If we were having tea today, I’d tell you…

  • That I only have one race on my calendar until the fall and I’m excited by that fact! In April, I raced every single weekend. Two of those weekends, I raced twice. I need a little break from racing and I’m happy to have it. My formal marathon training will begin mid-June and until then I’m just running a few times a week to keep some mileage in my legs. 
  • I’ve been loving the local honey I’ve been putting in my tea lately. I picked it up at my farmers market last week and it’s been helping to keep my allergies at bay. I highly recommend it if you are suffering from allergies. 
  • Confession: I care not a big about the derby or the big fight tonight. I’m all about pretty dresses and cocktails, though. 🙂 

What’s on your mind this morning?

    Neither the Derby nor the fight hold any interest for me either! I’m a big fan of honey in my tea – what’s your favorite kind of tea?

    i love pretty dresses and cocktails, but yeah, i’m skipping the kentucky derby and the boxing match, too. (also, whoa, you ran SO much in april! i would not be able to do that without getting injured; glad you have some time for recovery!)

    Congratulations – that’s a great month of racing! I need to try that honey trick! How often do you drink the tea with honey during the week?

    After tomorrow, my calendar is clear until September. I may throw a 5k or 10k in there but no long distance events until the fall. And it’s a relief.

    LOL, I don’t even like cocktails that much. Sangria is about as fancy as I get. I haven’t done that many races this year, but I’m still glad to have a break!

    I am SO with you about the derby and the fight–pass on both. Esp the derby… I went to a super preppy undergrad and the sight of all those drunk people in seersucker brings back memories I do NOT need to relive.

    However, we have a big party on the first Sunday of May every year, so I am always grateful that I can count on at least one of my husband’s friends to host a derby/fight/Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday night, which keeps my husband out of the kitchen while I’m cooking up a storm!

    So not into the fight either but I did meet Manny about 2 years ago and you just reminded me I have a great pic to post. Local honey? Am I missing something. Thanks for joining us for coffee/tea today. I love these posts.

      are you asking what local honey is? it’s honey that is produced by a farm local to your area. it can help w/allergies (the idea is that taking in some of the local pollen will help you ward off allergy symptoms).

    I love local honey! It truly helps with my allergies, and it just tastes so much better than anything you buy in the store! Mmm now I want some tea with a touch of honey!

    Yeah, I would have to say that my interest is not hugely invested in the big fight or the Kentucky Derby. Although I think it’s cool that Manny is a Christian. I did used to really love horses. I still love them, but I was never super into the racing side of it. Today, I’m thankful for sunshine. I’m also working after that pull-up goal, and I’m thinking tonight will be a quiet night, which I”m totally up for after a CRAZY week.

    I love honey in my tea. I’m glad adding it to your tea has kept your allergies at bay. I do enjoy the Derby but I mainly watch for the hats!

    I love to watch the Kentucky Derby and the coverage- it is so nice to see all the pretty dresses, hats and cocktails! I guess it is a nice change of pace from the usual shootings and crap that is normally on 🙂 Enjoy your break!

    I didn’t watch the Derby or the fight either.
    Instead I met a friend for sushi and then caught up on my DVRed TV in bed.
