Chicago cont'd.

Here are some pictures from my visit to Chicago this past weekend. What a great city!

Leah took me to her favorite spots in Lincoln Park - this was a secluded lily pond.


We ran along the lake, went to the zoo, and went paddle boating. We loved how these gorillas were sleeping.




I took her to dinner for her bday then we walked around the city and went to the new Trump Tower.



We continued the bday celebration on Saturday in golf style. Had a little high school reunion to end the night.

CHICAGO

Happy Birthday to my Turkey Trot partner! Today is Leah's birthday, and tomorrow thru Sunday I will be celebrating it with her in Chicago. We've got a lot planned including a trip to the zoo, riding in paddle boats, sushi, shopping, chatting, air and water show, and pizza (hopefully). Can't wait, Leah!

Goodbye Jamie's Desk

As of tomorrow, I am losing my current desk for a new one. I am going to miss it; it even has cup holders.

Baby Pettett

We got word this morning that we're going to have a little nephew! We are very excited and anxious for the arrival of baby boy Pettett. Case really thought she was having a girl, so she was very shocked and surprised; Jason is excited to teach his little one how to landscape and mountain bike. There is no name yet, but many to choose from.

Fuel Fact

There is only 1 magazine that I subscribe to (Josh subscribes to about 6), and I read it front to back - Runner's World. I love reading about ways to make my runs better, more effective, faster, etc. It is inspiring to read about people's personal triumphs through running. I've tried to think of a way I can share with you all of the interesting facts I learn - from calories burned, good foods to eat, training tips, and more. So, I've decided to start a new element to the side bar called "Fuel Fact" (as in fuel for your body). I believe in being healthy through exercise and eating right. So today is Day 1 of Fuel Fact.
