5 things friday

1.  Unless you live in a hole, you are well aware that Valentine's Day was yesterday.  I came home after a crappy day at work (let's be honest, it's been a pretty crappy week) to this AWESOME present from the bf.

he gets me.

2.  I've seen this race on a couple of blogs this week.  I finally looked into it, and work in the northern suburbs be damned, I will be there.  Holy CRAP does that look like fun. Yep, it's like 3 days before Rock n Roll Chicago.  So what.  (Just WAIT until you hear what I have planned for that weekend...)

3.  This is the first weekend of 2013 where I don't have a race planned.  Whatever will I do with myself!

4.  I ran in the Pure Drifts again, and I still love them.  It's the wideness of the toe box that does it for me.  It doesn't bother my bunions (yep, I have bunion problems, just like your grandma), and it's amazingly comfortable.  If only the Pure Cadences could borrow a page from the Pure Drifts book, then I would be completely content.  (I love the Pure Cadences, but my baby toe gets squashed after a long run.)

5.  I bought the soundtrack to Nashville last week, and I have been listening to it nonstop.  LOVE the show, and can't wait until they release another album of songs from the show!
