(to the tune of that showstopper from Annie)
There’s no telling if the Chicago sun will come out tomorrow (not likely) but I’ll tell ya what IS coming your way: a K.Amato giveaway! Check back tomorrow and get ready to comment, email (justachitowngirl@gmail.com) or tweet (@NinaintheChi). I will be selecting a winner at random from those glorious modes of communication on the internets.
Happy Monday, all!
If chocolate chip waffles aren’t running food, I don’t want to know what is.
I’m not sure if I’m cut out to have children because the marathon cravings I’ve had the last few days have been so intense that I can’t imagine what pregnancy cravings are like. I feel like I’m eating like a college linebacker right now.
In other news, I met the most darling couple from Fort Worth, Texas who are in town for the Chicago Marathon. We got chatting about the race and I learned that Husband Lee has run a few before, Wife Isis is taking on her first and they had tons of great tips, stories and were just so gosh darn nice. It turns out that they have a blog called therunningcouple.com and have been blogging about the running and training they have done together. If there ever was a team (or a “teamie” as Ryan and I call it when we are particularly proud of ourselves for doing something good together), Lee and Isis are it. They absolutely fueled my excitement for the Chicago Marathon and I am so excited to get reading their blog for more inspiration and advice! In addition to their killer blog, you can follow them on Twitter: @runningcouple. I’m @ninainthechi on Twitter, just in case you’re not following my musings yet.
High Five of the Day: The incredibly nice people who spoke with me at ADT today. All I was trying to do was change a battery but they took me seriously, as if I were dealing with a matter of national security. I totally didn’t expect that from an 800 number. Way to go, customer service.
