My Favorite Ritual

I’m not a creature of habit. It’s only recently that I’ve started following a set training plan for races (and even that is kind of loose),

The only “habit” that I hold onto is following a fitness regiment. I have classes to teach, so clearly I need to be there, but now I also have set running days of the week, and even more recently, the thought of set swimming days.

It’s running that has led me to my new favorite ritual: post-run coffee. It’s such a treat to finish a strong run, turn the corner, and head to a great local coffee shop.

Occasionally  we’ll get spontaneous and mix up the coffee shop (usually only because our shop is closed or we go super early and the shop hasn’t opened for the day).
