It has been one HECK of a week in my neck of the woods.
I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into my work this week, and I am more than ready to relax and decompress with some friends and Justin.
What better way to kick that off than with a little 5K?!
This morning, I'm headed downtown to join a few of my wine club girls to run the Wrigley Early Start 5K.

There are a bunch of different charities that are running for support today.
Our group is running to support our friend and fellow wine club member's organization - Teen Parent Connection.
From their website:
"Through the power of support teen parent connection helps young moms and dads confront challenges and create opportunities. Since 1985 our mission has been to provide teen parents with support, information, and resources to help them navigate their lives as parents and as teenagers."
If you are interested in donating or volunteering with/to Teen Parent Connection, they have many options listed on their website at teenparentconnection.org.
I know all of us girls are so proud of Mary Beth and her work with TPC, so we are very excited to get out there and support her whenever we can!
I'm really excited to do this run today because it is for a good cause, we will be running right along the lake (I miss it!!), and I've got a brand-spankin'-new playlist! :)
Of course, I will share it with you!
1) Sunrise, Rascal Flatts
2) About Life, Julianne Hough
3) Too Close, Alex Clare
4) Call Me Maybe, Carley Ray Jepsen
5) Wild Ones (feat. Sia), Flo Rida
6) Feels Just Like a Love Song, Sara Evans
8) Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa), Maroon 5
9) P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing), Michael Jackson
10) Gold Forever, The Wanted
Some oldies, but goodies, and some newbies to keep you on your toes! You can get the songs individually, or the whole list HERE through iTunes.
Well, I'm off to have a pre-race snack (probably a banana and a Clif Kids Z-Bar, oatmeal cookie!!).
I am recruiting Justin to come down to support and take some pictures, so stay tuned for a race recap!
Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone! Take some time to do YOU today.
xoxo
