sweet {short} summertime.

June 21, 2011 by Hillary 17 Comments

Happy Summer!! Hope you had a nice little (Running) Tuesday. 

I’ve been a busy bee and therefore did not have time to fit in my scheduled easy 2 mile run yesterday, per my SmartCoach training plan; but don’t you worry, I squeezed it in today.

I ran 2 miles @ 8:20 pace on our treadmill with a 0.5 incline after a 50-minute cycle class at the local gym. It felt good to move my body as yesterday was a zero exercise day when I realized I had exercised the past 15 consecutive days. Remember, rest days are important!

On a totally random note, I opened a package from my birthday twin, Miss Tina, today full of (unpictured) goodies and my mom just happened to give me a tee from Tina’s shop as a belated b.day gift – what a coincidence!

Then, when I was running errands I scored a cute pair of shorts for 8 bucks! I’ve been looking high and low for a new pair of shorts to survive Chico’s summer heat. I wasn’t intending to find shorts when I dropped off a bag of clothes at the consignment store, but it seems you always find something when you aren’t looking for it.

Speaking of short(s), I got a much-needed haircut today and boy, does it feel short!

 

Me failing to model my new (wrinkled) shorts & tee in my embarrassingly dirty mirror. I think I’ll stick to food photography.

A couple things:
  • I created a new page for Half #5 if you’re interested in tracking my training.
  • Also, you may have noticed the featured recipes in the left sidebar. I hope to be changing these up periodically, about every week or two.

Going to go clean my mirror ;)

Just for fun, finish this sentence: I will run for…

      Aww, thanks Allie :) I haven’t colored my hair (I actually never have), so I think it’s just the lighting/terrible self photos, hehe.

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? ⁣⁣
