Running Gratefully

November 8, 2013 by Hillary 17 Comments

1. Bake peanut butter cookies

2. Workout

3. Bake peanut butter bars

4. Run

See a theme here?

5. NO more baking! #nomoresugar

I am grateful for yesterday’s run, albeit short in distance. I caught the last bit of daylight to stomp through the crunchy leaves at interval pace. It’s been quite the journey to heal my knee; but, I’ve found gratitude in two-mile runs. I am grateful to be running at all… and thankful to be running outdoors in the fall.  

Note: Banana Chocolate Chip PB Bars make excellent running fuel.

    What a beautiful sunset! I’m grateful for being able to spend time with family this weekend, and I’m grateful that my foot is finally healed from a stress fracture and I can finally start my normal workout routine again!

    Beautiful sunset! I’m thankful for running, too, after two years of off and on injury, it’s hard not to be : ) So glad your knee is on the mend!

    Beautiful fall photos! The leaves have started falling quickly here in the Midwest, and I’m not quite ready for it :)

    Beautiful fall pictures! I love going for runs outside in the fall when all the leaves are falling and everything looks so pretty! I always forget to snap some pics though.

    Pretty sunset! I love the way the sky turns the color of the leaves. And girl, I know how you feel about being grateful to do ANYTHING after knee troubles. I feel blessed after every exercise and time I can walk now!

    My heart has really gone out to you following along with your knee trouble – I am so delighted to hear that it is doing a little bit better. Hope it continues to heal, it has been quite a trying time for you.

    I can imagine how frustrating it must be to have knee pain and not do something you love to the full extent. However, I completely agree with you that you need to savor even the short runs. I’m grateful to not have had a running injury yet.

    Glad to hear your run went well! I am going to miss all of the beautiful colors on the trees in a few weeks. I can’t believe how pretty the sky was, too – gorgeous pictures!

    I am feeling grateful for my health. I’m finally getting back into a routine with exercise and it feels great.

- 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? ⁣⁣
