Welcome to Coffee Talk!
It's
a scorcher of a Saturday morning here in Dixie.
Let's settle in a chat for a while.

| Happy Independence Day! |
Over Coffee... You'd hear how June was the craziest month. Between beach travel, My First Sprint Triathlon, Father's Day travel, and weekend water skiing -- WHEW -- I'm pretty tired. On purpose, my running miles were kept low (66). I felt the need for a rest and recovery period before training began for the Chicago Marathon. But, I did cycle in the month of June too (70 miles). There was a good bit of swimming as well, albeit very amateurish (aka dog paddling). I hope I wasn't too much of a slacker.
Over Coffee... I'd tell you how shopping for triathlon apparel gave me quite the sticker shock. Thankfully, I really like my new affordable SLS3 Tri Shorts. At first I purchased the basic black (with cute butterflies) but then felt like I needed more pizazz. The Doodle Daisies pattern are certainly spunky. The SLS3 shorts feel good on the bike, are comfortable on the run, and they work well in the pool! In case you are wondering, the pad is very soft and not as thick or bulky as traditional cycling shorts.
Over Coffee... I'd ask if you knew about the new Running LED Light Belt from Level Up. My
green one literally just arrived. The first thing I did was try my iPhone
6 (while still in it's thick Otter Box case). It fit easily in the zippered pocket. The second thing I did was try the lights. There are three settings: steady, flash fast, and flash slow. Level Up is running a special introductory promotion this holiday weekend. Use code FNYEHY9V at checkout to receive 55% off. [Since I received this belt at no cost in exchange for an honest review, I will be doing a thorough test. I just didn't want you to miss out on this fantastic discount.]

Over Coffee... I would suggest that you eat watermelon over the holiday weekend. As country kids growing up with a huge garden, we were were taught that watermelon flavor peaked right around July 4th. I still believe that! My sweet Dad passed away 26 years ago on July 4th. {He went out with a bang -- and would have adored that joke.} The last time I saw him, we had a watermelon seed spitting contest in that same country yard. I think I'll eat a slice in his honor...and spit a few seeds.
Have a wonderful July 4th Holiday! How will you celebrate?
