winter warriors!

so there is a program that the chicago endurance sports (ces) puts on and it is called winter warriors. basically, you run at 7:30am on sat mornings outside. bright idea, right?! well, i thought so and somehow i convinces alice, becca, and devon to do it with me! we've had a few saturdays so far, but none was colder than last sat! and it wasn't even that cold - i mean it was, but by comparison to say a few weeks from now. i was about ready to turn around and say no way, but then i realized i was already almost there and really, just do it! so i did. and once we got running, it really wasn't that cold or that bad. and after all the running (this week 6 miles), dev, alice, and i (becca didn't make it sat) went to brunch at nookie's on wells street. annnnnnd, they had pumpkin pancakes!!! they were delicious too. brunch was so fun - it was definitely the perfect way to start a sat morning. and then, i'm not going to lie, dev drove us home and once there i went and put on sweats (sans shower... wet hair and cold = no fun so i decided against it) and took a nap on the couch under several blankets to warm up. i was frozen! and it was a great day.
