Summer is over, and I am SAD.
On the train back to real life tonight, Meg was talking about how she was excited for fall, and that it was her favorite season. I am blonde, and I really like Lilly Pulitzer, so I definitely peak in summer.
If we were having coffee date right now, I’d tell you:
I’m really excited and really nervous about the Chicago Marathon. Thankfully this isn’t my first rodeo, so I know I will be able to finish, but I also know that with this compressed training schedule, it won’t be quite as enjoyable (“enjoyable”) as past marathons have been for me. But I trust Jess‘s coaching guidance implicitly, and know that I will be as prepared as I possibly can…
This weekend, I did my 12 miles out in the Hamptons. Our share is in Amagansett, so I ran to East Hampton and back. We’d gone out the night before, so I was proud of myself for getting it in and not pushing it back to early this week instead.
I would also tell you that I am fully obsessed with flash tattoos and now think no beach weekend is complete without them, and yes I know I am the most basic bitch ever, thank you for asking.
I would tell you that I got a ride out there, but am thrilled that I took the train back and didn’t have to deal with traffic. Dinner at Sotto Sopra with half-priced wine and pizza was a fabulous way to wrap up the day/weekend/summer.
I would tell you that I’m doing a triathlon this weekend with my bosslady/favorite person Jordan, and I am so excited for her to do her first tri.
I would tell you that after a summer of fun and indulgence, I am so ready to buckle down and eat better this fall. Ashley had a great recent post about saying no to overcommitting and yes to yourself sometimes, and I’m going to try to be really cognizant of that this fall.
I would tell you that even though I spent too much money this weekend, I am currently lusting over, oh, EVERYTHING on sale at J. Crew Factory right now (and 50% off!!!)
Nailed it. ^^
And how was your weekend??
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

I've never had a flash tattoo. They look cute and fun though!
I'm with you on the buckling down now that summer is officially over. And sure flash tattoos are awesome and miiiight make you seem basic, but I think that get cancelled out when drinking White Girl Rose which is the best name I have ever heard for wine. Ever.
My weekend was all about finding balance. I skipped a bachelorette party, but still did a two beer lunch with a different friend. I've got a new job and slept good the first week or so, but now I'm having goofy dreams. Fall has always been my favorite, so I can't wait for all the layers and fun activities!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa triathlon this weekend? Awesome! All the cool kids are racing tris this weekend.
Yup, casual ;) Doing the Iron Girl tri again!
While there are parts of summer I'm going to miss, I'm so excited and ready for fall to come around and the temps to cool down a bit. I love running in the fall so I'm really excited for that to come!
Yes to tent dress on Mondays! Haha. Every week starts off with the thought: what is one outfit I can wear that is only one piece and is not tight? Comfy dresses make adjusting to the work week easier.
YUP! I have one v. loose J. Crew dress that is totally my Monday dress.
I'm totally fine with being a basic bitch. Bring on north face, pumpkin spice everything. Flash tattoos are so much fun, so bring those on too:)
I'm so excited for the Chicago Marathon. Last year I PR'd there with a 3:45 and I hope to run a little faster this year. Inching my way to a BQ. You should do a meet-up in Chicago!
