a few things.

January 17, 2011 by Hillary 22 Comments

Hi! Happy Monday MLK Day. Did I not post yesterday!? Where am I? What day is it? I’m definitely not back into any sort of regular Chico routine yet. The whole no routine thing actually feels rather good. However, I’ll always be a Type A routine list-maker at heart, so let’s talk about a few things…

1. First thing first, the winner of the Barney Butter giveaway…

Katie – please e.mail me your shipping address, so BB can mail your snack packets right away :)

2. I went on an 8 mile hike today with a few friends to Feather Falls. I having a feeling my behind will be sore in the morning from our 3 hour trek. Does this count as x-training? ;)

3. I am obsessed with the people folder in Picasa. Sometimes I get giddy over techy things. Thank you, Google, for being awesome.

& thank you Mom for sharing.

4. I made an emergency trip to the grocery store this evening for chocolate. What sugar cleanse?

5. I have a recipe or two on the way… nuts and chocolate are involved, of course. 

6. I am bummed I’m missing The Bachelor tonight since I don’t have cable. Don’t spill the beans!

7. I have a new found love for foam rollers. I played around with one awkwardly [that sounds strange] at the WREC yesterday.

I didn’t look in any way graceful like that.

Do you own a foam roller? If so, where did you purchase it?

That’s enough listage for now. Remember, tomorrow’s Running Tuesday!

Toodles,

    What a gorgeous view – I’m sure you enjoyed your hike! I don’t own a foam roller, but I’ve been thinking about getting one a lot lately. I’ve heard they hurt – but in a good way! Enjoy your week.

    I’ve never tried a foam roller, but I’ve been seeing them all over the fitness blog-overse lately! :) Those pictures from your hike are breath-taking. It’s nothing like that in Chicago now…too much snow!

      I haven’t used the camera on my phone very much, but I guess it isn’t as terrible as I had imagined.

    A foam roller, what exactly are these used to strengthen? Your back? If so, I need one badly; my back is always killing me, probably because of my (lack of) posture.

      They’re used to ‘roll out’ your muscles. They’re not used to strengthen so much as they are to stretch.

    I love my foam roller! I bought mine at Academy and I bought my sister one from Target. Both around $20 I think. Worth every penny!

    I love hiking, but have yet to go on one with a waterfall – jealous! Foam rolling is great. Ot hurts in a good way, and I think it has prevented me from getting some injuries…I got mine at Big 5!

    I was just thinking it’s about time for a Feather Falls hike! I love to take my dog AND she’s usually so wiped I don’t have to take her for a run the next day. :) I was kind of thinking of making it a training run at some point. You should check out the Trail Less Traveled in April in Oroville. I think it’s a 1/4 marathon or 5K, but great views of the lake. I love all the things I can do with my foam roller (and now my grid, too). It keeps my angry hip muscles in check. Love your recipes… keep ’em coming.

    I need a foam roller! Some of the suggestions above are great, I need an inexpensive one because I’m a cheapskate ;)

    I love my foam roller! I got mine from a physical therapy office, and it saves me after long runs. Totally worth the purchase if you ask me!

    P.S. Summers for me wouldn’t be the same without hiking! It’s too cold to go hiking now – I’m jealous you got to go!

    I just bought one from TJ Maxx for $17. It’s the blue one, which is supposed to hold up better than the white one. I’m using it a lot for my knees.

#happynewyear
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? ⁣⁣
