I started the day with a McDonald's Diet Coke. $1.09 well spent. McDonald's has the best Diet Coke.
Lunch was spent with a few of my co-workers at the Pancake Pantry where I ordered my favorite, raspberry delight pancakes.
The day flew by and before I knew it, it was time to go run with East Nasty.
My friend Lanie picked me up (so I didn't have to drive!).
The run was the shortest route we run which was perfect timing. I only needed to run 3 miles.
After the run, I headed to 3 Crow Bar with friends for a few pre-dinner beers where we laughed and talked about Chicago Marathon stuff.
For dinner, we went to the new 5 Points Pizza. I loved it. My only complaint was that it is not the best for groups. Granted we were a huge group that would be hard to accommodate at most restaurants, but I would say no more than 8 in a group tops. So we were split between 4 tables.
My marathon training buddy Bernadette. PBR Tallboys go great with pizza.
What do 3 people in training for a marathon and 1 person training for a 50K (that's not a typo) trail run order? Garlic knots, 2 large pizzas and 2 slices. (Garlic knots and 2 slices not shown)
After pizza it was back to 3 Crow to meet up with a few other friends where even more laughs were had.
Birthday lemon drops.
A birthday bushwacker or 2...
I don't even know. But I love the purple on both my shirts.

Here's to a great year!
