Hey everyone!
What do you think of the new header? I randomly decided last night to finally put up my new header, but I might change the whole theme as well… Haha and also beware that I have a holiday version of this header that I might put up later today!
I had a really busy weekend, yet managed to take very few pictures… Skeeball on Thursday night, then Saturday I had a brunch potluck with the Chicago RUnning Bloggers, and then a Holiday Party Saturday night with a couple girls I knew and a great new group that I met that evening. I also played Cards for Humanity for the first time and won by a landslide! Haha I really enjoyed it. Sunday was the Rudolph Ramble 8K, which was… rough. Snow-covered paths do not make for good running!
Here are a few random pics from my weekend:
Lots of snow in Chicago!
Leftovers from the pineapple rice dish I made for the Running Blogger holiday potluck:
p.s. I made these lemon cookies (but subbed gluten free flour) for the evening party I went to and they were a hit! Thanks, Ari!
Our hats from the Rudolph Ramble:

I LOVE LOVE the new header and the fact you just did it.
no obsessing 🙂
Yes, very unlike me! Haha
love the new blog look!! and snow dog pictures are always so cute!! 🙂 🙂
Right? She loves the snow, so cute!
I really like the new header.
Molly looks like she’s having a lot of fun in the snow.
She loves the snow!
love new header!! and Molly is so cute in the snow, Jax played in some snow for the first time last year, not sure if it will happen again or not, but it was great to see him play in it. funny how the snow doesn’t seem to really bother dogs 😉
hugs great job with the workouts!!! xoxo
Right? I’m out there freezing to death and she wants to stay forever!
Your blog looks so fresh and clean! I want to makeover mine sooooo badly. So glad you liked the cookies, and jealous of your snow! PS: Only like a month until our reunion! I can’t wait!!!
WOOOHOOO! SO close to my visit!!!
SO MUCH SNOW! Boston got a bunch too. I love it…until I have to drive in it and go anywhere. Then I hate it. haha. love the new header.
Haha that’s true – I wouldn’t be such a fan if I were you and had to dig out my car and drive!
Are you in the S3 skeeball league at Sluggers? I used to do that. It was a fun league but I stopped doing it to focus on marathon training. That new Walgreens has been a pain in my side. I live right next door so I’ve had to deal with the construction noise for the last 2 years. Now I get the noise from the delivery trucks in the morning – plus 1 of them clipped my building on consecutive days.
I am! And it’s only one night a week, haha not too damaging to my running schedule. And at least the Walgreens is cool? I’m just glad the sidewalks are open again…
The new header looks great! We got a good amount of snow, but then it rained on top of it so we ended up shoveling about 3-4 inches of slush instead. Yuck!
Ah that’s what I hate – when you end up with slush!
love the new header!!!!
Thank you, Julianna!
I have also been partying hard down here in Florida! My best friend/roommate’s birthday was Tuesday as was our theatre department’s Christmas party. I went to another Christmas Party Wednesday and a wedding on Friday. My boyfriend and I drove 6 hours to his parents house where we partied and played cards against humanities too! Sunday ended up being a lazy, nap day. I’m so ready for a salad and a trip to the gym!
Oh wow, that’s a lot of holiday events!
I loooooove the new header! And adorable photos of Molly in the snow!
Thanks, Ash!
I love the new header! How did you make it?
Picmonkey! And the city was something I worked on for quite a while a couple months ago. It’s based after a photograph I took and both picmonkey and paint were involved in that one…
nice header!! the design looks so clean – I love it!
Thank you, Dawn!
Love the new look and that Walgreens!!! I need to move to the city… now! Hey, I entered Little B’s motivation contest…. please vote for me! I’m in the polka dot bikini / pink sports bra!

Haha definitely, we have a few of these walgreens now, so cool!
Holy cow it looks cold there, but the snow looks like so much fun. Being a south Florida native makes me a big wussy when it comes to the cold.
It has been abnormally cold this December, I could use some Florida heat!
LOVING the new header! 🙂 Also, that Walgreen’s looks insanely huge. I’d probably get lost in there ;).
Haha it’s big but great – they even have a premade food area!
Love the new header! It’s so sleek and it matches white, snowy Chicago perfectly 😉
Thanks, Becky!
Love the new look! So fresh and clean 🙂
Love the puppy pics and the warm race drink!
Thanks, Kierston!
Awww, the puppy pic shaking off the snow is my favorite! That floppy face is so cute!
She is a cutie!
Just had to pop in and tell you how much I LOVE that new header! So classy and cute!
I also love the pictures of Molly in the snow… it makes me excited to move back to Missouri and play with my Meeko in the snow 🙂
Awww thanks! And yes – come back to MO!
Love the new header! Perfect for a Chicago blog 🙂
Thank you Kathryn!
Duluth, Minnesota is where I hail from and I feel like we have SO MUCH snow for it just being past the middle of the month. I think our totals are probably around 30″! But at least it means we will have a white Christmas =)
Ah, SO MUCH snow! But yes, at least it’s a white Christmas, which is what I always want!
The new header is fab! We had our hohoho run at the weekend, it was so much fun, and ended up warmer than predicted, which made it even more fun to hang out in the park afterwards, enjoying mulled wine and chatting! The Molly pictures kinda make me want a bit of snow, though!
Oh nice that it was warm! Haha our weather was 16 degrees, feels like 3…
