Puppy Power

I’d love to take credit for this little gem but I have to give credit where credit is due.  Lulu Lindsey was driving down Lakshore Drive when she came across a guy who not only thought it was necessary to drive his vespa on a highway going 50 mph but also found it necessary to bring his poodle along for the ride.  Linds said the dogs ears were whipping all over the place from the wind but it didn’t appear that he was going to jump out so I’m assuming they made it home safely.

Nothing says manly like a man with a vespa.  And a poodle.

Do One Thing a Day That Scares You

I have signed up for the marathon.  The Chicago Marathon, that is.  Sure, I’ve run a half marathon but that was, like, 4 years ago and these legs have not logged any serious mileage since then.  I have been dragging my feet (both figuratively and literally) about signing up for the marathon for a few weeks now but I said it was one of my 2010 goals and I’m lucky enough to have people in my life (ahem, lulu Lindsey) to hold me accountable for such things so…it’s official.  Come 10/10/10, I will be one of these people:

Signing up to schlep through 26.2 miles was something that scared me so if you’re really supposed to do one thing a day that scares you, I totally did mine for the day.

High Five of the Day: The Weather.  It was 55ish degrees and slightly sunny in Chicago today.  For those of us who live in the Midwest, even the slightest break from sub 30 degrees is a huge freaking deal.
