Hey Jaycee, 14 and 26 for the ask game if you haven't done them.

14. What's something upcoming that you’re excited for?

I'm seeing Pearl Jam at the end of the month (April 29 actually lol). Which reminds me that I really need to get my act together and lock down my travel arrangements (debating between a short flight and a six-hour drive + Atlanta traffic).

26. If you could live anywhere with anyone you want, where would it be and who would you bring?

Somewhere in New Zealand with my family. And ideally a partner of some kind.

Soft Asks

Aaaah 28 degrees! I dream of it when my car says 44 and I want to cry.

44 does not sound like a real temperature lmao 😂 I kid, I know it gets plenty hot like that in many parts of the world. However that does make it sound like my car would melt at that temperature!

What's the running updates? Are you working on an even faster mile? Gonna enter a race in 2025?

okay SO

i am in the middle of a four week beginner strength training program and it’s leaving me totally exhausted and i haven’t been able to make time to run but i think I’m going to start skipping the yoga days and just running instead 😂

my running goals for next year are to break under a 9 minute mile, 8:30 if we’re talking crazy, and run in a race, but that also depends on whether or not some other life events happen that would make that not a good idea 😂

Hey 👋 I just wanted to say that I really love seeing your posts about teaching. You have such care for your students and some of your posts really make me think about my own actions.

OKAY BUT THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!!!!!

I love to hear it 😭 Are you also a teacher?

Annie! How was your honeymoon? I hope you had a fantastic time and that the Scottish weather and people were kind to you

Hiii, Em 💜💜 first of all thank you so much for your recommendations!! We did not have time to follow all of them but we appreciated them so much!

Our honeymoon was sooo lovely, as was Scotland! We definitely will go back. Edinburgh is AMAZING, so was our trip to Loch Ness and the nature, the nature!!! Glasgow was a bit ... meh, but the food there was amazing. And the hotel cheaper, lol. Unfortunately it rained/was quite cold while we were there so didn't go to Loch Lommond. The weather while we were in Edinburgh was much better and my favorite part was definitely hiking to Carlton Hill and the one across it (above Holyrood). So sunny, and such a view!! We're vegetarian so no haggis for us, but I loved the shortbread (brought some home) and also the whiskey ice cream in Pitlochry. Tablet didn't seem like something I'd like so i didn't buy any. Irn Bru was definitely interesting haha. As I've been to the UK before, I also was quite happy to Tesco and get their bourbon cream biscuits, as well as salt and vinegar crisps and them egg and cress sandwiches. Some photos:

The Necropolis in Glasgow was the best part of the city lol. And Nessie was unfortunately too shy. Also, Armchair Books in Edinburgh, best second-hand bookstore ever!

One of the shows that always caused it is only 30 minutes with one break. It's habit as much as anything, I think. It even has a term - TV Pickup (https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/tv-pickup/):

It's funny and so stereotypical!

That’s wild!

Chelsea, you've done some amazing things on your trip so far and if you feel that going home now is the right thing, then it's definitely not a failure. Try not to make any decisions without thinking them through, but you have to prioritise what's best for you and not what other people will say. You don't have to post this if you don't want to make it a discussion point, but I just wanted to send it anyway.

Thank you♥️ I needed this! There’s so many options for everything I could do that I’m overwhelmed and it feels like all options are right and wrong at the same time, I’m just trying to remind myself that plans are allowed to change when situations change and there’s nothing wrong with that but it’s hard♥️
