Captivations is a monthly feature with links, stories, and news that captivated me. Take a look at all the things captivating me lately.
November is the best month!
Not only was it my birthday month but this year, I spent two weeks in Thailand! The month flew by but I’m incredibly thankful for all the joy this month brought. With connecting with friends, exercising, traveling, and being inspired, November was everything I want every month to encompass.
Words of Wisdom
“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.”
How could he go back to living a mundane life?
I enjoyed this thought-provoking interview. We create our own meaning of life. Maybe the way of living described below is something to strive for.
“I wonder if that’s all that keeps him going in life. Once he made that first attempt that was so amazing, how could he go back to living a mundane life? So he made it a life goal to keep going with the records and expeditions, and maybe that’s how he keeps going. Pushing your own limits in some impactful way and forget everyone else. Just keep carving into something for as long as you can hold out for.”
Run for the Water
Race #2 for the Austin Distance Challenge is in the books! This 10-miler was hilly and difficult but I’m glad I pressed on for an ok time. I’ve got half-marathons in December, January, and February coming up!
