This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!

This is for Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Coffee with Larry was recorded live in Porta, Portugal, at the Cafe Negra in the center of Porto.

Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the cooling technology company.

Omius is the official cooling technology partner of RunBlogRun

Our topics;

1. We are checking out Portugal, driving mostly in the northern half, up to Spanish border, in the wine country and along the sea coast.

2. Food is fantastic everywhere, no GMO, coffee is great, people are nice, a little suspicious in small towns.

3. Biggest issue is parking in Porto.

4. Driving is a sport here, and while highways are amazing (tolls on highways), we take the small country roads to see more.

5. Dubai Marathon is coming soon! January 12, 2025, at 6 am Dubai local time. Check out the site at www.dubaimarathon.org
