One Love

Hi everyone! I know, I know… do you even remember me??? This hiatus is killing me, and I had to jump back in for a quick sec to spread the word about an awesome Chicago running team.

 

One Love is a charity created to honor the life of Yeardley Love, who was tragically killed on the University of Virginia campus in 2010. The charity is focused on supporting young adults and helping them down a path to a brighter future. Yeardley’s family and friends have been active for over a year in support of this cause.

A group of these friends will be running the Chicago Rock ‘n Roll Half marathon in August, all to spread the word about One Love. If you or someone you know is in Chicago, I hope you will come out to support them on race day. If not, please take a moment to visit their website:

Thanks See you on race day!

Spotted this on one of my favorite blogs the other day, and immediately thought of my friend Emmy. You might remember her guest post from a while back. It’s worth another read if you are feeling stuck in a rut these days, or just need a little inspiration. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

It was pretty nice out this afternoon. So (since I’m desperate to be active outdoors) I decided to walk the 2.5 miles to run my errands at lunch… now I have a hole in my favorite tights, and blisters on the bottom of my heels. F you, Chicago sidewalks.

F. You.

 

Can we please finish shoveling the sidewalks? PLEASE?

 

Auf Wiedersehen, brother!

My favorite brother (and running warrior) is headed to Europe today (first stop, Germany!). I’m so sad that I won’t get to hang out with you again until August, but I wish you the happiest of journeys

Travel safe, and run through the Black Forest for me. Love you!

...and may all the German girls look like Heidi Klum.

Today’s the day!!!

GET THERE!
