Tea Date for January 2016

January 2, 2016 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC17 Comments

Happy 2016! I’m so excited to be able to join Coco, Deborah and Lynda for their Coffee Date – I make it a Tea Date because I don’t drink coffee, but the same idea. I thought I’d join in and share what I’d tell you if we were sitting down having a cup of tea together! Go check out Coco, Deborah and Lynda and join in the fun! 

The Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having tea, I’d tell you…
  • How excited I am about setting and reaching some new goals this year. I created some easy to use goal setting printables (you can get yours free by signing up for my newsletter –> see my sidebar to do so or click here for more info) and am already writing down goals. I’m SO pumped for this!
  • That Alabama rolled right over Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl & I can not wait for the College Football Championship game!! 
  • That even though my new training plan (I’m doing a modified Hanson’s plan) terrifies me, I’m happy that I have a plan that really forces me to stick with it day in and day out. 
  • In related news, I’m foam rolling more than ever before. 
  • I am so excited about so many things – continuing to grow and strengthen my marriage, growing professionally and continuing to make our house the warm home that we all three (my husband, Sasha and I) enjoy. I have plans for all these areas and am pumped to put forth action. 
  • I think winter is finally here in DC and I’m not complaining (at least until we get ice and people don’t shovel their walks). I’m dreading the possibility of having to resort to a treadmill but have a backup plan in case I have to do just that (a new gym by my house is only 10$ a month and I think it has wifi so I could watch shows on my Kindle while running). 

Happy Saturday!

What would you share if we were having tea?

    I love how passionate you are about Alabama football. We are of course big IU Hoosiers fans now and the list in overtime the other day. Oh well next year! Wait did winter come while I was gone??

    hehe, same here! ๐Ÿ˜€ I’m not much of a coffee drinker either, so I much prefer tea. ๐Ÿ˜› I need to start foam rolling again, and yay for new goals! That’s something I need to put together as well!

    I’m in denial that winter has come, lol. I’m all out of sorts since the weather was so mild in December. I have so much goal planning to do, I’m hoping to get a good dent in this weekend!

    I am preparing for my first marathon and using a training plan that I am following very faithfully. It is the first time and I am really loving the structure and the fact I don’t need to think too much about it. Good luck with your training !

    It’s great to start off the year with a coffee/tea date! That gym sounds like a great deal. I think you can download some shows to your Kindle, if the wi-fi isn’t great. I did that for a plane trip. Hope to see you soon!

    Hi Courtney, I think my hubby and son are Alabama rooting also. I am an NFL gal myself, but they are college. Unless Cal Berkeley is playing I don’t really pay attention. LOL We are supposed to have one heck of a winter {rain season} here in California and lord knows we need it. Have a great weekend and thank you for coffee ๐Ÿ™‚

    I joined the Ultimate Coffee Date this month too. I would drink tea or coffee:) I need to do more foam rolling…I have done it in the past and must do it more often. My IT bands are so tight and it is just about the only thing that helps. Happy 2016!!
