CHICAGO

Posted Jul 01 2012 3:55pm
Long time no write.  Well I’ve been busy, you see.  
Summary: I live in Chicago.  I am in LOVE with Chicago.  Love it, love it, love it.  I love the hum of the city.  I love the heat! I love the running.  I am in love.  
 
Confession: I am having a really hard time adjusted to the heat weather wise.  Humidity and 80 degrees is NOT something I am used to at 5 am.  But I am adjusting.  Last Thursday I finally got my pace back and it was dang hot.  I ran 13 miles yesterday.  I ran slowish, somewhere between 8:45-9:00 miles and it was smart.  See?  Running smart. I sorta love the challenge of the heat.  I’ve missed heat for so long living in Seattle that it is incredibly satisfying to sweat.  I think I sweat a total of 5 times in Seattle while running in three years.  I deserve to be a hot mess sometimes.  
 
Here are some quick pics:
 
Apartment.  Tiny.  No air conditioning BUT LOOK AT THOSE WINDOWS.  Awesome! IN LOVE.
 
My new running route! 
 
The roof at my internship where I eat lunch.
 
That is all I’ve got for now.  I’m off to World Market (ummm can you say dangerous? I can.  Goodbye money.) 
I plan to blog a bit more regularly highlighting the happiness that my new life has brought me.  
 
Xoxo,
Emily
