Life In Chicago

Almost through my internship in Chicago, and I absolutely LOVE it here! There is an insane running culture, not to mention miles and miles of forest trails. MILES.
Here is a snapshot of a typical day in the life of a marketing copywriter intern/runner girl:

5 AM

Wake up. Quiet time: drink a glass of water and cup of tea, read Bible.

6 AM

Running with the deer, rabbits, and the occasional skunk.

7 AM

Gym. Cross train on the elliptical, bike, or jacob's ladder. I do abs twice times a week, lift twice a week, and complete strength training that is mostly focused on my legs twice a week.

9 AM

Oatmeal eaten, hair blow-dryed, coffee consumed.

10 AM

Office. Edit blogs, reports, and text for mobile applications, Write stuff.

12 PM

Lunch time. Either eat out at a new place or pack a lunch. I love eating at Flat Top Grill - you choose your grain/veggies/sauce/meat and they stir-fry it for you.

1 PM

Back to work.

5 PM

Peace-out. 30-40 minute drive back to the apartment depending on traffic. Jam out to Pandora.

6 PM

Dinner - Tia has cooked some food-network worthy dishes: chicken lettuce wraps, cornbread casserole,   pasta made with legit tomato sauce from an Italian grocery store.

7 PM

Unwind, wash dishes, read, roll out legs, stretch.

9 PM

Sleeping!
