Hey everyone, it’s THURSDAY! Haha, it’s my second favorite day of the work-week, coming in right behind Friday! Funny how that works… huh? I’ve actually had a crazy busy week, last night I had a KD alumni (alumnae?) dinner, and tonight I have a Girls On The Run Event to go to. I am seriously looking forward to crashing tomorrow night, getting in my long run Saturday morning and then doing NOTHING. Well, except cleaning my apartment… seeing as that has been severely neglected this week…
One thought that didn’t get added in this week is about the wildfires in Colorado! I haven’t checked the news this morning (honestly I’m afraid too) but they are getting dangerously close to some of my favorite places in Colorado Springs, and the neighborhood where my family’s house is has been evacuated. So keep those firefighters and everyone being affected in your prayers (or thoughts!) today, I certainly am!
Anyway, here’s onto some Thursday Thoughts!
1. Is it weird that I think this looks fun to run on!? Up and down, up and down, like a roller coaster!
2. Um… Yes please!?! Zucchini baked with cheese and tomatoes and basil?! Perfect way to make Italian food gluten free!
3. How cute is this?! You make the background out of a map of somewhere you went, and then choose a photo from that trip! I love this! Guess I need to take more trips!
4. So, so very true. In the building where I work there are a few people who are in wheelchairs. Since I see them every day it’s reminded me so much of how blessed and lucky I am to be ABLE to run. So I run. And I love every minute. Okay, almost every minute.
5. I’ve started a Chicago Healthy Living Bloggers Facebook group! If you’re a Chicago-area blogger, be sure to join! I think it will be a much easier way to organize meet-ups and invite more people!
6. I have about 5,000 pictures of Molly from this past weekend of Molly-sitting. I think I should plaster my walls with them. Totally normal, yes? Maybe no… Here’s a good one: Molly being a cat. She is walking up around the edge of the big love seat I’m sitting in, showing off her agility.
7. Don’t forget to donate to Girls On The Run! I’m running as a Solemate for the Chicago Marathon and I can use all the help I can get! Just $5 would make a world of difference! You can find my fundraising page here.
8. Saw this and loved it. How cute? No need to be a cheerio (unless you’re a honey-nut cheerio… which are delicious).
What’s one of your random thoughts today?
Are you a fruit loop? Haha I definitely am, I don’t fit in too well, but I love being ME!
