Four Days in Chicago

Workout: Walking a LOT around Chicago.

Diet: Deep dish pizza! Need I say more? :)

We took the architectural boat tour in Chicago! I highly recommend it! It was beautiful, educational and romantic!

Things have been quiet around here because the boyfriend and I took a little vacation to Chicago last week! It was our first time there and we had such a great time.

I had serious plans to run (I brought my running gear and wanted to run by Lake Michigan) but there was just too much to see and do!

I am an art history nerd and one of my favorite pieces of all time is Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte which is located in the Art Institute of Chicago. Luckily the boyfriend likes museums as much as I do so we went there and I was in love. :)

The boyfriend and I also met up with a good friend of ours who lives in Michigan. He came down to Chicago for a day to meet up with us. We all met in grad school in Boston, so it was nice to have a little reunion in Chicago.

Although it wasn’t intentional, it was nice to have a week break from running. I miss it! I have Memorial Day off so I’m looking forward to starting half marathon training in earnest tomorrow.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend soaking up the sun and spending time with loved ones! :)
