Running Ruminations

I think this is the last of my catch-up posts.

Connor and I moved from one Chicago ‘hood to another in mid-May, and in the moving mix, our photo adapter went missing.  Fortunately, C located it recently, which means that I can now update the world on all my lovely pictures from the Sunburst marathon and from my Masters graduation.  Enjoy!  And of course, for more pictures, check out my flickr site: flickr.com/erinAMG or Connor’s site, flickr.com/mrsqueezles.

Sunburst weekend (waiting for the guys to finish!):

And graduation weekend…

And perhaps the pic that’s really showing my true colors… 🙂

Some people dress up when they earn their Masters.  I wear a BAA t-shirt.

Naturally.

After Saturday’s GI catastrophe, Saturday evening my friends and I did a progressive dinner- tons of fun!- all over the city.  Eight hours or so later, after eating from around 4pm until about midnight, I put the GI catastrophe day to bed and awoke on Sunday to do a simple, easy 3 mile recovery run–which wasn’t so bad because I didn’t have much to recover from!

To cap off the weekend, C and I marched in Chicago’s awesome Gay Pride Parade with his employer, Orbitz.  It was a ton of fun, as some of the pictures below reveal…

It made for a pretty hot, sticky, and humid Sunday.  But the fun wasn’t over, as we later went over to the opposite side of the city to bid adieu to my girlfriend Leanne who’s launching her eco-vegan-fair wage winter coat business, Vaute Couture, in NYC.  She’s leaving Chicago for NYC 🙁  Actionbooth.com was on hand to capture some of Leanne’s bizarre friends, like us, so she’d have something to remember us by!

And then we decided to do an action shot….

A good weekend indeed… GI notwithstanding. 🙂
