Central time

Whoa. I’m back! Armed with a new laptop, I’m on the road and back in Chicago for a week to visit family, sightsee, celebrate a friend’s wedding, and eat as much food as possible. And, I really couldn’t be happier there aren’t below zero wind chills and blizzard like conditions!

Nope, instead of inclement weather holding me back, I have a lame foot. I was supposed to run the Super Jock n’ Jill Half Marathon this past Labor Day, but due to my rookie behavior, I seem to have broken my foot (not literally) and now have a fine limp to match my dad’s. We really make quite a pair. Word of advice for all you semi-new runners, please remember to replace your shoes. Even at 300 miles, my Mizunos kicked it and turned to mush.

So these days, I’m sporting the PNW look. I’m so sporty! Check out these new Brooks
I’ll be wearing around the Windy City with my lame foot and North Face raincoat.
(Goodbye cute flats and skirts, I’ll miss you.)
