Love Where You Live

I feel like I've been posting so late in the day recently... plans just keep popping up unexpectedly and I've been pretty busy the past few days, but I am not complaining. I'm one of those people who has issues sitting still (I think that's why I like running so much, it gives me an excuse to move!)

I know I've talked about how much I love where I live before, but today is one of those days where I am feeling extra, extra blessed to live where I do. Last night one of my friends asked me to go out to the Beach Bars (another perk of living where I do) with him. I politely declined because I knew I wanted to go running this morning, and that is exactly what I did! But first breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day!

 

Oats with almond butter and cinnamon! After breakfast I got dressed and ready to run! It was 50 degrees today which in my opinion is the perfect running temp! Not too hot and not too cold! I headed to my favorite running spot of course, the Wrightsville Beach Loop and just ran! No apps on my phone to track my pace or anything, just a nice relaxing fun run!

 And after 5 miles I ended up on the beach. It was such a gorgeous day! I feel the need to mention that none of these pictures have filters, it was beautiful. I really don't know if I can live away from the beach again. It's where I go when I need to getaway from everything and clear my head. The quote "The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea" kept going through my head. 

 

After my run I stopped by work to get my paycheck. Woop, woop payday! Some of my friends that I work with were there also eating some lunch and getting ready to go shopping. I work in an outdoor shopping center/mall with lots of fun shops. Below is a bad picture of what it looks like. When they asked me to join them I couldn't say no- I love shopping way too much. We walked around a few stores like Williams and Sonoma and Francesca's. I for once showed self control and didn't buy anything! Mainly because I need to save money to go shopping for Christmas presents, which yes I have not started at all!

 

After running and shopping I was STARVING! I went home and made some whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce and green beans. It was delicious. So delicious that I ate it all before taking a picture- whoops!

Now I am trying to convince myself to get ready for a party I'm supposed to go to tonight. A bunch of people from work are getting together one last time before a lot of us leave for the holidays! It should be a lot of fun!

Question of the Day

Where do you live and why do you love it?
