A young professional's view on living the rockstar lifestyle in Chicago. I love food, my boyfriend and am committed to serving justice. I run, bike and explore and I can't wait to tell you about it.

5.12 miles

This past Sunday I ran in the Shamrock Shuffle 8k.  I decided to dedicate each mile to part of my life.  The breakdown is as follows:

mile #1: The love Jayson and I share

mile #2: work

mile #3: my family

mile #4: my passion for changing the world

mile #5: me

I found remarkable energy within each mile.  Some was frustration coming out and some was pure inspiration.  My play list was a combination of Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and Carrie Underwood.  Without planning it, my playlist shuffled and I listened to “Winner” during the last half mile and “Let Love In” when I crossed the finish line. 

It took me longer this year, but my 210 said I ran 5.12 miles, which is probably accurate as I stayed toward the mid to outside of the course. 

I want to run a half-marathon.  I don’t know if I should do it this year or wait until next year.
