Happy Friday, everyone! I love Fridays because I have the day off, and most of the time I’m able to sneak in a nap, which honestly is probably my favorite hobby. My weekend is PACKED with things to do! Lots of family events–my husband’s birthday was yesterday, so we’re celebrating with his family tonight, and my sister-in-law is having a Halloween party on Sunday that we’ll be going to.
I’m very excited for tomorrow because I get to to go more Pure Barre training! And really, I’m not being facetious at all. I love teaching Pure Barre classes and can’t wait to learn more about teaching and technique. And, I get to go with two amazing teachers from my studio, and I think we’ll have a lot of fun.

Celebrating with champagne. Love this girl so much.
Speaking of having lots of fun, I had the honor of taking some engagement photos for my friend Olivia and her fiance Dan last weekend. I had a great time hanging out with them and taking some hilarious photos, as well as some nice, more traditional photos. We went out in late afternoon and caught some absolutely amazing light for some of the pictures. And, once we were done we had drinks and food and had a fun evening.
Getting to hold my own book in my hands. I think I’m going to sell hard copies of my Yoga for Runners eBook, so I ordered a test copy from Blurb to see how I liked it and to test paper quality, print quality, etc. It’s so amazing to hold your own book in your hands, even if it’s self-published. Definitely a unique experience!
The trees in Chicagoland are just about at peak color. This is my absolute favorite time of year and I’ve been trying to really take the time to enjoy this moment. It made for beautiful scenery during the RUN10FEED10 10K last weekend, and I’m looking forward to running as much as I can over the next few days to enjoy it. (Hopefully I’ll still be able to walk after that Pure Barre training, though….)
I saw this meme on Facebook and it made me laugh. I’m a pretty big Star Wars fan (nerd alert!) and was REALLY into Star Wars when I was a kid (even bigger nerd alert!) including reading a lot of the novels. I refuse to buy the movies on Blu-Ray because they only have the new, edited versions, not the originals where Han shot first and it’s not Hayden Christensen’s ghost at the end of Return of the Jedi. What can I say, I’m a purist. Here’s hoping Episode VII is better than Episodes I-III.
That’s been my week in a nutshell! Linking up with Heather for Friday Favorites!
What are you up to this weekend?
Any fellow Star Wars Fans?
(It’s the Internet. I know you’re out there. ;))
Congrats on your Yoga for Runners book! Such a huge accomplishment 🙂
lol… I’m a big Star Wars nerd too 🙂 I love that meme. Can’t wait for the new movie!
Hi Beth! Haha, that Mean Girls meme is awesome! LOVE those gorgeous red trees! The leaves are starting to fall over here in MI and it makes me very sad. Can’t it just stay fall forever? Thanks so much for linking up. Enjoy the weekend!
I’m a huge Star Wars nerd also! My husband and I watch Episodes IV-VI every Thanksgiving weekend. Sooo excited for the new movie! I hope you enjoy your weekend!
Sounds like a really fun weekend ahead! I need to do some personal trainer training classes in person this year (along with the online ones). That sounds fun!
So cool to see your book! It looks fab!
You know I am a SW fan. Did you get your tickets for the new movie?
And I think comments were turned off on yesterday’s post, but I wanted to say it was nice to see you post about your life. If I had taken the survey, I would have written that (I didn’t take it because I am not the right audience for the type of post you typically write, so my feedback doesn’t really matter, lol).
((new follower)) Congrats on your book! With the “off-season” approaching (after my 13.1 in a few weeks), my goal is to do more yoga, and to do it consistently. My balance has improved tremendously,but I still feel tight as a not in my hips & hammies…and that’s where I seem to have the most issues when I run…go figure. Looking forward to following you!!
So so so cool about your book! Congrats!!
The book looks awesome! It’s amazing how something tangible seems more real than a digital version.
Look at your book!!! Even self published, that looks pretty exciting!
Looks so fun! I need to go check out Pure Barre. I always say I will but there isn’t one in my area (I know…how is that possible?!) Ps I love napping too!
Yes, definitely do try it sometime! It’s so much fun. You’ll probably feel lost during your first class. Just know that’s totally normal! 🙂
