I went to Chicago this past weekend. It's actually a really cool town. I could see myself living there (in the summer atleast). Around Lakeshore there's this incredible trail that goes by a beach even and then even through a zoo. What could be more inspiring than running through a park and seeing a rhinoceros.
The ultimate fighting machine in the jungle inspires me - the ultimate running machine in the world. Man joining forces with Nature. Honestly, that trail would raise my life expectancy by 5 years if I had it every morning.
Chicago has some cool stuff too. Have you ever heard of the Chicago Cubs. The "Loveable Losers?" Well, Check this out:
It might look like me standing by the stadium. But if you pay attention, I am actually cursing the team. Sorry about that. I had no choice. Chicago has some very good food at times. Check this thing out:
Just looking at it makes my mouth water and my stomach set ablaze. That's a Kobe Beef Burger Baby. With Pretzel Bread. You can't just get that anywhere. You have to go to Millennium Park. 
There are some pretty views of the Lake, or as I like to call it (the ocean).
This is the Chicago River. There are often swimming races, paddle boats, swimming lessons, diving, that whole sort of this in the river. Chicago really supports aquatic sports. 
View from the AfternoonBut wait, there's more... I bought a blender. And I have been blending all my food.
Blended Spinach, Tuna, Peas, & Lima Beans. So good.
Oh, and as my last blast, this is the guy I had to sit next to on my flight to Chicago:
And he discussed a drug deal the whole time. Weird. I put on my headphones sucked on my thumb, and found my happy place.
Resolved: I will only eat blended food all week. Stay tuned for my weight and related stats tomorrow morning, then we can see how much of an impact it will have. I'm like Bill Nye the Science Guy. But without the labcoat.
