on the bright side.

January 8, 2012 by Hillary 10 Comments

Well, hey there! Happy Sunday to ya.

This morning I woke up knowing I had a 9-mile training run on the agenda, but I wasn’t at all eager to get out from under my comfy covers. I begged my Dad to ride alongside on his bike for moral support, layered up, laced up, and was almost out the door when my new running toy read “low battery”. I gave it a few minutes to juice up and crossed my fingers it would hold out for the entirety of my route.

Just a little after mile 7, I looked at my watch to see a black screen… and then some ugly words shot out of my mouth. Why now? Why my long run? Ugh, frustration. I tried not to let go of all motivation and cruised along home, which I calculated – using gmap-pedometer – to be approximately 2 miles.

On the bright side, it was a b-e-a-u-tiful morning, I felt strong, I conquered the hills, and I #gotitdone.

I fixed my grumpy attitude with pancakes and iced coffee.

I made my favorite pancake recipe gluten-free using oat flour and, again, it was a success!

You can find the adapted recipe on my NEW RECIpage – woo!

I am so excited about this new addition to the blog. Casey + Emily have created an amazing recipe platform for the blogging community. I have many many more recipes to enter, so in the meantime, my original recipe page is still up for your browsing pleasure.

Enjoy the day!

Hillary

    Question for ya Hillary: What are your top 5 pre-run meals when you’re running 6-9 miles or so? I’m looking for a good list and since you are obviously a runner like me I need some new ideas! :)

    Thanks! Ang

    Ugh, it’s the worst when my watch dies on me mid-run. It’s like all my motivation to run died too! Haha. ;)
    Glad you were able to finish the run though! Great splits, too!

- 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? ⁣⁣
