Not much to report on today. It was gorgeous here in the city mid-50's. I hear it's not going to last; just a teaser day. Jacob actually went on todays run with me and that rarely happens. But that means although I have someone to run with I have to change things up and not go as far. Since we only just about 3.1 miles I threw a couple 400-800 sprints in there. That didn't feel good but it is a reminder of what I need to work on these coming months.
lap 1: 9:01
lap 2: 8:43
lap 3: 8.49
lap 4: 9:31
In one month we have the Run to Wrigley 5k. I know only a 5k you say. I love this race. I have run it every year and I love seeing the progression of the race and organization every year. Plus it's cool to end under the Wrigley marquee after running through Wrigley (no not the field unfortunately). It will be the boys first race in a over a year. I'm a bit worried for him. As long as I keep getting him outside a couple times a week he should be okay. This may be the one year I'll beat him! I'm looking forward to this race it's a time when all our non-runner friends make an appearance and run their one time a year.
Friday and Saturday bring the cake tastings. Bring it on! And with that I will definitely need to get a workout, or three, done. But hopefully by Sunday I can have that second to last vendor checked off my list.

Milkshake
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like..."
Every time I put on my running tights I think of that fantastic song by Kelis b/c my booty is just so big and it's exaggerated even more in the tights. Then when your fiancee joins in on the singing you definitely know you need to run to try to make the booty smaller. I think it may be hopeless in my case. Or maybe it's just the tights ;) Anyways I made it outside for another run. It was a beautiful sunny 36 degree day and I actually got a little warm during the run. Regardless I am excited to get the deep freeze that is coming (just in time for my bday) over with so we can move into spring.
here are the numbers...slightly better than Sunday's action.
lap 1: 8:53
lap 2: 8:53
lap 3: 8:47
lap 4: 8:46
Tonight I am meeting up a friend I haven't seen in nearly 6 months for some sushi. Whenever we decide to actually meet up she always asks if I like sushi. I am starting to wonder if that's all she ever eats...I'll have to ask her.
Oh and wedding drama #2 for the week. My florist bailed with 5 1/2 months until the wedding. Sweet. I have some new leads but the majority are already booked for our day. Hopefully I'll find someone absolutely incredible and for the right price before the end of the week. A girl can dream.

4 in the snow
At home in Medina, OH. I used to hate this town that I grew up in. I love it now. Even though there is still that close minded small town-ness about it. Maybe it's because I come back so few times a year and can appreciate the town for what it is. So before we left today I decided after over a week of no running I absolutely had to run. It felt so good. I'm glad I got it in. It was slow going on the ice and slushy snow but really worth it. Really I don't know why I haven't run outside more. Got in 4 and am happy b/c being at home I know I will do nothing!
So we are almost ready to book our officiant but I am still up in the air. We were going to book a judge local to Chicago but he seems so "whatever"...We are not too religious even though I grew up Catholic. Honestly I would prefer someone get their license online (I'll pay) then marry us. Anyone game?
