week 4: half marathon training

I don’t know if it was the weather, or if I wore myself out from all of the Indian wedding festivities (blog to come soon), but I had very little energy all week. I tried to run, and had all of the intention to do so, and every morning I woke feeling like a truck had run me down. I wasn’t sick but I definitely felt fatigued and exhausted.

meeting the girl (but not the goat)

I met Stephanie Izard a few weekends ago because ChicagoMag.com was conducting a videoshoot on how to create a bbq. It took place for most of a morning, but was a really cool experience: not only to participate in a videoshoot, but also to see how one is put together.

Of course Izard was endearing, friendly and funny. She’s very personable and easy going. I enjoyed watching her chat up the host and the audience.

week 3: half marathon training

Week 3 was a success! Despite a busy week, and other activities going on, I ran my schedule with amazement. I even had a wedding Saturday morning, and made it out there to run six miles beforehand. I’m actually pretty proud of myself.

The fronts of my calves have been tightening, but my kneel stretching has certainly helped loosen things up. I’m looking forward to longer distances next weekend.

gray is a main theme

I recently got some new clothes. Actually these are new clothes over the last few months, yet haven’t blogged about it. What I noticed when collecting these, I’ve bought a lot of gray. Gray is a little less harsh than black against my very pale skin. So when employing black (you know, because it’s slimming), you add a touch of gray to soften the look. So take a look at my latest purchases;
