Hey there, just popping in with three completely unrelated topics! First of all… remember the graduation present dilemma- cash or actual present? Then I went to the Lego store and came away with… a gift card. WHICH WAS THE DUMBEST THING EVER. Several commenters said they would have given a Lego set with a gift receipt. Yes, that’s what I should have done!
So today I went BACK to the store, used the gift card to buy a Lego set (eye roll) and wrapped it up, with the gift receipt, for the graduate. The truth is, I had already bought graduation wrapping paper and I didn’t want it to go to waste.
He was really happy with it! He said he’s going to build the Lego, but if he decides to sneak back to the store and return it, that’s fine too.
Next random topic. This episode of Best of Both Worlds was super interesting! All about why movement is so important for our health. The biggest takeaway for me was, it’s regular movement THROUGHOUT THE DAY that counts. So even if you go to the gym in the morning for a great workout, you’re still not getting the health benefits you would from getting up and moving for five minutes at intervals all day long. I’m really active at work, but I can be a total sloth for the rest of the day. Evenings count too!
Last but not least… this past weekend was Cocodona 250, one of the most competitive ultra running races in the country. Rachel Entrekin won the race outright, beating all the men, all the women (including the GOAT Courtney Dauwalter) AND set a course record. GIRL POWER.
What random things would you tell me today?
