Chi-Phone Pics Pt 2
Pt 1
So, I’m feeling good, taking in the sights and the weather is great. All day it’s been in the low to mid 30’s with hardly any wind, 6mph at most. Might as well be summer as far as I’m concerned. Anyway, decided to do some more window shopping so I hang a left off of Michigan and proceed down Oak. Now for those that aren’t in the know, this area is ...

Chi-Phone Pics Pt 1
Slept in this morning, fueled up and set out towards the lake.
Insider tip: If you plan on taking advantage of our wonderful lakefront trail/path. Park on Cannon, between Fullerton and Diversey Harbor. It’s free, and even at the busiest of times, after work in the summer, it’s usually not that hard to find a spot.
One of these days I’m gonna get a dog so I could be like...

My Rahm story, Chicago's new mayor-elect.
It’s a Saturday night, a group of us are at my absolute favorite sushi bar, Butterfly. It’s like a who’s who of the entertainment industry up in here. I’m talkin’ executives from MTV and Warner Brothers are in the house poppin’ bottles of Belvedere and Veuve Clicquot to celebrate a near and dear friend of ours, Nadia’s, birthday. Kind of like a rap...

2/14 - 2/20 Food & Liquor
Thursday: Beers here. Caught up with an old friend, drank a few of these:
Friday: Rest day, and a day off of work. In advance, not because I had one too many the night before or anything. Anyway, ran errands, tied up a few loose ends and had dinner with the family here. Hilarity ensued, per usual. In a nutshell, we are functionally, dysfunctional. Ordered an x-large Nick’s super,...

Woke up this morning,
with a song in my heart
and bounce in my step!
It seems to me that there are two types of runners. Those who run while listening to music, and those who don’t. I happen to fall into the latter category. When I first took up running, naturally I felt as if I needed something to help pass the time, get my mind off of the task at hand. As I started to log more miles, and gain a bit of...

2/7 - 2/13 Three Words
Last week I ran a total of 40 and a quarter miles. I managed to get my long run in on Saturday morning, as seen here. It took me 02:05:20, or 08:57 min/mi. I was pretty happy with the effort.
Yesterday’s weather was amazing, 45F and sunny, I wore shorts! It was a little breezy, from SSW 14MPH, but whatever, we ain’t called the windy city for nothing. Needless to say I took...

An email to Garmin customer service regarding my...
My device is not holding a full charge for very long. I’ve tried allowing the battery to drain completely then recharging it to full capacity but that’s not resolving my issue. It seems the longest training session that can be supported is approximately 2 hours. This is obviously unacceptable. At times my device will say it’s charged to 40% capacity, I’ll begin a training...

It's official, I'm a runner.
First off, yes I’m cool, hip, I been had a tumblr, I just hardly use it. Actually, that makes me way cool. Would Steve McQueen blog?
I think not.
Today’s a little different though, I’m feeling a little manic. I imagine it’s because it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve slept in for two consecutive days. Truthfully, yesterday I intended to sleep...
