THE DATE TO MOTIVATE.

10-10-10.

Yesterday. The day of the Chicago Marathon. "The Date to Motivate" was the Marathon's slogan this year, and motivate it did. I am totally running in the 2011 Chicago Marathon.

E and I watched the race for a while yesterday morning (they ran right by our apartment!) and we were hooked. I was surprised at how silly some people get with their attire for the race - tutus, American flags, crowns, the Eiffel Tower. . .


Yes, this is real.

There were even pregnant women running. ("Baby's first marathon!")

Time to start looking into training schedules!

Seriously, this is so catchy. I actually can't get the stupid song out of my head. But quite hilarious at the same time. If you haven't already seen it, enjoy.

Thanks, CP!

On my radar. . .shoes.

A few things I have my eye on right now.

HLR found pretty much the same shoe, yet way more affordable: Nine West Ample.


J.Crew Mara Suede Wedge.


Nine West Sadock.


Tory Burch Quilted Nylon Reva.


My credit card is in "time out" for the moment (oops), so these will all have to wait, sadly.
