Full Fall Funday

Saturday was such a fantastic day.  I got to do so many of my favorite things with many of my favorite people.
What else can you ask for?

 The day started out beautifully.  I was so excited to get out in it and run.  I would have loved to run a 20 miler!  A couple things held me back.  
#1 my knee  My knee's been bothering me since Halloween.  I decided it's because my shoes are worn out (which they are).  I ordered a new pair and everything will be fine once I'm running in them.  Because I said so.
#2 I guess I didn't have enough time for a 20 miler anyway...

 Then I headed off to a photography class.  We worked with natural light and it was AWESOME!  The first 15 minutes I was skeptical, but it quickly grew on me.  Although if I knew we would be posing for each other I may have fixed my hair before the class.  Oh well.
It was interesting how one of the girls who took my photo later showed me one and said, "I really like this one because I think it shows your personality so well."  FYI We met at 10 and it was now 12:30.  Am I that easy to read?

 I packed up my camera and hopped on my bike over to the West Loop for Beer Hoptacular with some friends.  There were so many beers there!!!!
I had a little time at Justin & Jason's before I headed to the Congress Theater for the Matt & Kim concert with Rubina!
This concert was SO high energy!
The first syllable out of Matt and I looked at Rubina and said, "Ahhh his voice!"  I love it!
Rubina & I had a very important job to try and scare anyone taller than us away from stepping in front of us.  We did pretty much fail, but we did a halfway decent job.
during Now
Seriously listen to their lyrics:
"Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything" -Let's Go
"We sing along, though the notes are wrong" -Good for Great
(just a couple of many many examples)
I will let you think about the lyrics and come to your own conclusions.

 Then I headed to meet up with Karen and her friend Bridget.  We met up with Jason, Justin, James, and others...

 A very full day, but what a fun day!
Friends, running, photography, music... so so many of my favorite things!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
