Happy Monday, Friends!! Today, I am one week post-marathon and still feeling so much joy and gratitude from that milestone in my life, that there is really only one thing for me to do with that joy and that's share it with all ya'll!! But, first, a little story...
If you don't already know, one (of many) of my life-loves besides running is discovering and supporting small, yet mighty, businesses. Growing up in a small town, my parents instilled in my siblings and myself the importance of supporting local business. I still feel that way today.
Big chain stores may be convenient, or even a little bit less expensive, but driving out of the way to enjoy a local diner or mom and pop shop is where you will find rewards far greater than food and merchandise. You find loyalty, character, friendship, and a story about how that business came to be.

Thankfully, many small businesses have online stores, which is great for those of us who live out the middle of nowhere! In the course of my marathon training, I stumbled onto an online company called Run Pretty Far, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! Not only does Jenn, the founder, have a fabulous line of fun clothing items, including tops and headbands, she also writes a thoughtful blog which highlights everything from her running adventures to motherhood.
Since I personally own two shirts from Run Pretty Far , I've decided to let you in on the sweetness, by

I love this tank. It reminds me of the feeling that comes from running on the perfect day.
