Niketown came out with the 2010 Chicago Marathon gear on Friday.  I don’t love Nike running gear but since they’re sponsoring the marathon and I am running the marathon, I pretty much want all the 10.10.10 I can get.  Loving the incorporation of the Chicago stars.  Good one, Nike folks.

Forecast for 7 days from today is 69 and sunny.  Today is 55, cloudy and windy.  I’d take somewhere in the middle.

1 week!

An Apple a Day…

After an hour of discussion about what to get for dinner and a 4 mile run on the treadmill while watching college football, Ryan and I headed to Fox and Obel for a little dinner “and”.

I say “dinner and” because you can’t go to Fox and Obel without picking up some delightful little treat to bring home.  I’d have to rob a bank to be able to afford entire grocery shopping there but Ryan and I love grabbing brunch or dinner and a few special things to bring home.

After sharing a burger, salad, their to-die-for homemade potato chips (thick enough and perfectly under-cooked enough to still taste like potatoes), and a pear salad with candied walnuts (which are just incredible), we trudged home through the rain.  While unpacking our little bag of goodies, I noticed a theme:

JK’s Organic Hard Cider, honeycrisp apples, apple pie squares… can you tell we are loving this cold, cozy season?
