Crush

October 1, 2010 by Hillary 7 Comments

After just one minty mojito, I’m a bit tipsy, so this will be kept quite short. I just couldn’t not write anything… no, not today. I had a big crush on today. It was a splendid Friday/first day of the month. I hope it’s a sign for what’s to come in October. Fingers are crossed.

Well, besides the usual school deal, I had an extra special workout at the WREC and an extra special dinner with my visiting guest. Before I get ahead of myself to the deliciousness that is currently being digested in my small intestine, let’s not forget about today’s run that was ever so fun!

  • 1 mi. indoor track run @ 8:10
  • 15-minute spin [6 mi.]
  • 15-minute chit chat break + strength training
  • 30-minute treadmill run – 1.0 incline

5 minutes @ 8.0mph [7:30 pace] <—Happy Hillary

10 minutes @ 7.5mph [8:00 pace]

repeat set.

  • 0.25 mi. indoor track run

Tonight, my weekend guest and I – any guesses!? – enjoyed a late night dinner downtown at a restaurant I’ve heard much about, but have never dined at: Crush. I didn’t snap any photos of the cozy, classy atmosphere of the 2nd story restaurant and lounge, but that it was. The food was also rated highly by the food critic, yours truly.

005

Fuji Apple: spiced pecans, currants, blue cheese, roasted onions, organic field greens, balsamic

008

Crush Bruschetta: heirloom cherry tomatoes, burrata cheese, basil pesto, toasted sourdough bread

011

Arrancini: crispy fried risotto, roasted tomato, basil pesto

014

Reminded me of my girl crush on Giada ;)

 

Eventful day = 1 tired student/runner/“hostess”. Time for sweet dreaming! Have a wonderful weekend, all. I’ll be back to share mine…

With a huge smile,

Hillary

    I’ve been thinking about going to Crush. I rarely go to the nicer restaurants in Chico, and I want to go there before I graduate. All those pictures make it look mighty tempting!

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.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
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 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
