I know for some people that this will be rushing the end of summer, but I LOVE fall. I love fall weather and there are a ton of great events and happenings that I’m looking forward to, as well.
5 Things I’m Looking Forward to This Fall
Expo East (2021 recap)- If you’ve been around here, you know that Expo East is paradise for natural products lovers like me. While it’s smaller than Expo West, it’s a great opportunity to find new brands/products, meet new companies and re-connect with all of the folks I know from previous years. Also, this is the second year that Expo East will be in Philadelphia. so I’m going to visit my brother and Dan in NJ first. I’m excited to see the new trends and share all of it with you.
Chicago Marathon (2021 recap) -This will be my fifth running of the Chicago Marathon. I swore off of it it 2007 (still my slowest marathon ever when I wasn’t pacing someone else), I ran it again in 2019 and 2021 and had a ton of fun. This year, I’m also leading a shake out run with Arc’teryx Rush Street and participating in some fun events in the lead up to the race. Let me know if you’ll be there!
Open House Chicago – Open House Chicago has virtual events all over the city from October 1 – 31 and in person events on the weekend of October 15 and 16. Last year, I volunteered at the Bridge House Museum and then saw some cool sights in the Loop. This year, I’m going to try to volunteer in a different part of the city.
NYC Marathon (2021 recap) – If you’ve been here, you know I love the NYC Marathon. This will be my 22nd running! It’s always the best day of the year and I’m hoping this year will be no exception. Can’t wait! Is anyone running? I can share tons of great resources with you!
20th Wedding Anniversary – Our 20th wedding anniversary is in November! We normally take a trip to celebrate. Since we just spent two weeks in Spain, we’ll probably do a shorter trip. We haven’t landed on anywhere yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
