Happy Thursday! Most of these week has been about recovering from the Rock n’ Roll Chicago Festival weekend, which was so much fun! I ended up sleeping just under 10 hours on Tuesday night because the lack of sleep finally caught up to me! Here’s what I’m thankful for right now:
I’m thankful for a great race this past weekend! I ran a 5k, then accidently ended up running a half marathon instead. The story is STILL making me laugh days later (if you missed it, check out the story of my accidental half marathon).
I’m thankful that I got to meet Shalane Flanagan and watch her race. Honestly, this was one of the highlights for me, especially because I didn’t realize that I would actually have the chance to meet her!
I’m thankful for the time I spent in Chicago. This was the first vacation I’ve had in…awhile. Technically I guess it’s my first vacation since I went to Ecuador in January (and even that was for work). Even though it was just for a few short days, it felt like we were there for a long time, and I just had a great time. I loved racing, making new friends, seeing more of the city, and going to the beach. It was great.
I’m thankful for my computer. A source of fun, inspiration, ease in working, and a place of connection– I can’t really imagine living my life without my computer (especially since I need it for work!). It’s fun to disconnect a bit from time to time, but I love all the opportunities that it affords.
I’m thankful for fresh fruit! This summer I have absolutely LOVED eating fresh fruit- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, and watermelon have all topped the list, and I can’t seem to get enough of them!
Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for this week? What fruit has topped your list this summer?
