Hello friends, I am finally back from Cape Town and I took so many images!!! Seriously, I finally caved and paid for iCloud because I had zero storage. I honestly thought everything was interesting and worth documenting. For this week, I will be posting images from my camera roll. I love these types of posts because I consider them as filler posts and are very easy to write. I promise they all have meaning behind them. 🤗
I also hope to publish three additional posts this week because I did not post last week as I was busy gallivanting in Cape Town. I am thinking of publishing the following posts:
- Two Oceans Marathon Review
- The Ultimate Guide to Cape Town
- What I Read in April 2023
Two Oceans Marathon
I went to Cape Town for the annual Two Oceans Marathon and took so many pictures to document everything. I will post a detailed review of the marathon but thought I would share this image of my medal. My first international half marathon and many more to come!
Kipchoge Viewing my IG Story
I was so shocked to see that Eliud Kipchoge viewed my IG story. I know it’s not him personally but his team but this was such a fun surprise. It really did put me in a good mood.
Taylor Swift Half Marathon Playlist
I was eager to listen to my Taylor Swift playlist while running Two Oceans Marathon but I was informed that headphones are not allowed. So it was just me and my thoughts for two hours. It actually was not that bad but I really worked hard on this playlist and ensured that …Ready For It starts during the first hill. I keep replaying this playlist to compensate for the loss.
2024 London Marathon?
I also saw this post on my Instagram explore page and I am now considering signing up for the lottery. It would be nice to visit London and see some of my UK friends but I am contemplating making the Two Oceans Marathon an annual thing for me. The 2024 Two Oceans Marathon date is yet to be confirmed but will likely happen a week before the London Marathon.
Sleep Score
My fitbit sleep score has been horrendous. The different time zones even though just one hour ahead affected my sleep score. I always aim for at least seven hours of sleep every night but a girl was busy and always on the go. My plan is to fully recover this week and ensure I get more than seven hours of sleep with an 80+ sleep score.
This Dress !!
Can we also have a little bit of commotion for this dress? Secondhand clothing for the win. Cue Dress by Taylor Swift 😉
New Jigsaw Puzzle?
I started this jigsaw puzzle back in October and already finished it months ago but I am still attached to it. I always say I am going to start a new one but I really do not want to break it down. I think I need to consider framing my puzzles but I also love lifting them and breaking them down. I am in a conundrum! 😅
Ethiopian Airlines….
Coming from Cape Town, Ethiopian Airlines delayed my flight by 12 hours!!! I was livid because as you all know I am a schedule girlie and love to have everything structured. They put me in a hotel that was honestly not ideal for me. I am vegetarian and let’s just say they did not ever think they could have a vegetarian guest in their space. The food was not the best, the mattress was bouncy and the bathroom had a massive hole in the wall 😅
HELP !!!
Lastly, how do I make my blog post titles bold? I always ensure that the post is bold when editing but as soon as I hit publish the bold title disappears. Please send help!!!??
