Will Work for Food

June 25, 2010 by Hillary 19 Comments

I’m not feeling well again tonight, so I’m going to try to write this as speedy as I possibly can… which I’m sure will not be speedy in the slightest.

004

Yesterday I took my running skirt on its first adventure – which happened to be a 61-minute run around town. I am definitely a fan. It might even be half-marathon race material : ) My running attire varies some from more-fitted capris to typical running shorts and cotton tees. The weather is obviously the determining factor.

  • What do you prefer to wear running/exercising?
  • What do you think of running skirts – silly, comfy?

001

My Friday began like every other, since I’ve been home, with 1 hour of DanceFit. After class, I ran home – literally – and made a speedy serving of steel cut oats in my new big blue birthday bowl mug.

  • 1 c. water
  • 1/3 c. steel cut oats
  • 1/2 T flax
  • organic S + B-berries
  • sprinkle of raw sugar

I ate my breakfast in front of my computer screen, per usual, then jumped in the shower for a speedy scrub, packed a few simple snacks, and then it was time to prep for The Big Day!

I spent 3 hours chopping 100 pounds of red potatoes. I also must have minced at least 100 garlic gloves – I smelled sexy!

Tomorrow is going to be one heck of an experience. Thankfully, my aunt has kindly offered to be my helper. There is a lot of squash to be sautéed and 100 pounds of potatoes to be roasted. I’ve got my fingers crossed…

The cooking didn’t stop when I got home. Even though my mom made homemade pizza for dinner on Monday, I had a craving for it again tonight. There’s no rule that you can’t have pizza twice in 1 week… not that I’m aware of anyway!

007

Summer Sunset Pizza 
locally-made pizza dough, local pesto, caramelized onion, heirloom tomato, mini peppers, local basil chevre + mystery hard cheese [parm perhaps]

 

021

…and a [dark] salad of homegrown greens.

My dad just poured me a cup of Tazo Calm Tea. I don’t think I’ll be able to fully relax until tomorrow’s said and done.

Hope ya’ll have a wonderful weekend… I really do : )

Hillary

    Hope you feel better soon!
    I would eat pizza every night of the week if I could!

    Wow, that pizza looks great, as do steel cut oats too of course!

    I actually was hesitant to try my running skirt, but found out I loved it after my first run too. Other than that, I wear my many Nike legging/capris and tanks and tees.

    Feel better soon!

    I love my running skirt! I thought they were silly before I tried one, but they are surprisingly comfortable. And you don’t have to worry about things riding up…the only time I haven’t enjoyed wearing one is when there is a lot of humidity in the air. For whatever reason, I’ve had an issue with chafing after wearing my running skirt during humid mornings. I’m not sure if shorts would have solved the issue, by any means…but other than that, I heart my running skirt! I’m glad you like yours too. :)

    I think running skirts are super cute and stylish! I’ve never worn one, but they look nice on most people.

    And that pizza??!! Yum! Looks amazing!

    I like running skirts but not for running. haha…I actually like them for running errands. They are super comfortable for lounge wear in my opinion, but not for actually exercising.

    Ha! I had pizza 2 times last week for dinner, too. Amy’s Kitchen – pesto and margherita. yum yum.
    As for skirts – I think they’re cute! A way to be feminine and sporty at the same time. :)

    I hope your day goes well! That pizza and those oats look GREAT. Your food pics always make me hungry lol.

    I’ve never actually run in a running skirt, I’ve kinda always thought them weird? It looks cute on you though! I’m not sure if I’m daring enough to try one. I usually just throw on cotton tees, running shorts or capris.

    I’ve never worn a running skirt, but I’ve been looking for a good one to invest in! I’ve heard great things about them and I definitely don’t think they’re silly.

    I’ve been thinking about getting a running skirt too. I think they are cute and look fun, but I haven’t tried one myself. Hoping to score one on sale at TJMaxx :)

    I like to run in tight compression-like capris although I am getting more used to the idea of shorts if it’s hot out there! I tried on a running skirt but felt like a tennis player and opted for shorts instead. Glad you like yours though…whatever works, right?

    That pizza looks FABULOUS! I say, eat pizza as many times a week as you want – especially when it’s homemade!

    I LOVE running skirts. I just need to purchase one that fits me better. The three I have were bought on Ebay all together. They are Champion brand and a size small, but they are pretty loose around my waist. :(

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣

Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
