4 days away from closing the door on 2021! 🤸🏼‍♀️ Honestly some mixed emotions over here.
On the one hand 2021 was a 💩 storm, leaving me wanting so much more athletically. I didn’t get to go to the Olympics, I didn’t break any records or win any medals. Hell, I was only healthy enough to race one time the whole year! 😤
On the other hand, 2021 brought me closer than ever to my partner (now fiancé) and allowed me the freedom to create the life I dreamed of outside of sport- a life I wasn’t even sure I would ever be able to have.🥰
I feel more in control of my life at the end of this year, in the driver’s seat instead of riding along.👌🏻
I have the absolute best partners in lululemon, whoop, hyperice, vitalproteins, tiy_products, and beam!!! These brands value ME and they’ve all proven that to me in a big way this year, which I will forever be grateful for.🙏🏼
So I guess just like in life, there’s roses AND thorns, peaks AND valleys.🌹🥀⛰
So if you’re ever scrolling along here thinking everyone else has it figured out, everyone else had a great year, everyone else is on a smooth upward trajectory… look a little closer. I can tell you it sure hasn’t been that way for me!
Here’s to figuring it out as we go along. More of that coming in 2022 for sure.
🤸🏼‍♀️
AND congratulations to the winner of my last contest of the year!!! allie.lip was randomly selected to win the Down For It All Vest from lululemon that I’m wearing in this photo!!! It’s the perfect vest for winter running, and I hope you enjoy it, Allie!! 😀
