Coffeeneuring 2024: Pushing the deadline

Sunrise ride

Well, despite getting an extra week after Coffeeneuring 2024 was extended, I still managed to finish this year's challenge on the last day. (I'm happy to note my fellow 30 Days of Biking friend Pam did the same. Lol.) Gosh, life got crazy this month. One obstacle this fall was trying to get out on the bike during my running "off" days.

Yesterday, (Monday, Nov 25th), kicked off a busy holiday week. I'd awoken at 4:30 a.m., my brain unable to shut down from over-thinking the challenging days ahead of me -- so I decided to get the day started with a final Coffeeneuring ride to clear my head. I tossed my mountain bike in the back of the car and headed to Devereaux Beach for the sunrise, and then rode out around the lighthouse and back into town for coffee at Plus Cafe. It was exactly what I needed to start the day.

Bonus: I found one of my besties, Amy, waiting at Devereaux Beach for the sunrise. (✿ •‿•)

Coffeeneuring Ride 7: Cafe Latte at Plus Café

Thanksgiving week... a good excuse to splurge

It's been a stressful month, and I've overcommitted myself a hundred times over, but I'm still managing to get things done. At the bottom of the list is my upcoming 5k with Chip! I've not yet "graduated" from my C25K running program, but I'm close. (I've repeated a few weeks.) 

The Feaster Five (race) is just a few days away. A storm is expected on race day, and honestly I'd rather not run in a cold rain, so Chip (home from grad school) and I may pivot and run our own Feaster Five on Friday instead. We pick up our race packets tomorrow and will decide on race day whether to run the Andover course on Thanksgiving or punt it to Friday. 

Coffeeneuring 2024 is officially over, but our mild weather (for November) continues. Hopefully I'll be able to get in a few more coffee rides before the winter settle in.

Always be Coffeeneuring.

Seeking a little peace and serenity this week
