Thursday Things

September 4, 2014 by Jenna

thursday things 09.04 I just got in from a nice 7-miler with some strides. I don’t have a race this weekend, but it’s still nice to loosen up the legs a bit. Have I ever mentioned how important and amazing morning running partners are? They are the best sort of people! Without them I definitely wouldn’t be waking up at 5am to run by myself. And even if I did manage to (which I wouldn’t) the run definitely wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable… shout out to Lindsey and Monica!

Anyways, some fun links and things this week:

  • This September Produce Guide is amazing. Let’s all take advantage of delicious, seasonal produce! The carrots pictured above are from my CSA box. They would be perfect for any of the carrot recipes listed, but this soup is definitely on my list to make sometime this month.
  • Speaking of seasonal, all of these fall fashion trends really make me want to go shopping… with a pumpkin spiced latte in my hand.
  • Two of my favorite bloggers released cookbooks this week: Seriously Delish from How Sweet It Is and Easy Gourmet from I Am A Food Blog. A.MA.ZING. These ladies know how to cook and take pictures. I can’t wait to dig in and devour page after page after page!
  • This would have been handy to know 10 years ago (or more), but better late than never! I’m sure I’ll run into infinitely more awkward social situations over the years.
  • What a fabulous little baking hack this is! Mason jars (and all their pieces) always come in handy.

Welp. My coffee is done. Time to get ready for work. Have a fantastic Thursday! xojenna

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s a My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
