“I woke up. Sleep was restful 😀 Had a banana before leaving. The hotel room is so cute! Ran for 4.5 miles. Lakefront is so beautiful. And I saw MarathonVal! It was incredibly hot. And bright. And sweaty 😉 Walked to Jamba juice afterwards. (Clearly obsessed!) I got a SIAC (Smoothie in a Cup!) The granola was crunchy. Nom nom nom. Of course I had a iced coffee to go with. Went back to the hotel, showered, and now I’m blogging. Off to sort out swag with the girls!”
I’m not skilled in Kath-speak. At all. I need to read more of your blog honey 😉

Enjoy your heated stay in Chicago! I love city running, particularly on lakefronts.

Esse says
How about a pic of your swag goodies?
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
Jealous of your lake front run!! Hopefully I’ll get one in tomorrow:) I so wish Jambas were a couple hours south of Chicago where I live! Mmmm 🙂
Run Sarah says
The smoothie looks awesome – I have never been to Jamba Juice!
Camille says
I love running in new cities! Such a fun way to explore!
Have a great time!
KellyB says
It is so cool to see you in my city! I love seeing familiar pics on your blog. Isn’t Chicago just gorgeous?! I opted not to attend HLS as I am pregnant and knew I wouldn’t be able to tolerate the heat and sitting for long periods. I am totally bummed as you, Caitlin, Gina & Tina are like celebrities to me and I would have been totally star-struck. Have an amazing conference! Can’t wait to see pics!
Kath says
Sorry we’re missing you!
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write says
Have so much fun and take lots of pictures!!!!!! You look super cute in your HLS tshirt.
Kath says
THanks!
Holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
Have a great time! How nice to get up for a good run and have jamba juice. I wish I could do that every day!
Rachael @ Mrs-Adventure says
Nice, I wish we had a Jamba close. I used to be addicted when I lived in Cali!
Anne says
Kath: have you ever tried açai? It seems right up your alley, since you love SIAC and SIAB with granola and banana slices on top. Every time I see your purple jambas with granola and banana, I immediately think that it’s açai!
Have fun in Chicago!
Kath says
I have tried the powder. It was just OK.
Amelia says
Ooo cannot wait to get to Chicago and HLS! 🙂
(eatmovelove) says
The city looks beautiful.
I like short and simple posts. A picture can be worth a thousand words at times, no?
SWAG! Let’s see some please 🙂

I was contemplating having a “lazy day” today, but then I saw your post! A long walk outside sounds perfect right now. Thanks!
Kelli says
I was out there this morning as well. I figured you would be out for a run, so had my eye out for you – bummed I didn’t “run” into you.
Kath says
I was looking for “you” too!

That reminds me that I need an iced coffee beverage asap.
Nina says
Kath! Quick question. I’m about to enter my first year of college (exciting, i know =P) anddd apparently there aren’t any stovetops in my dorm hall! I’m OBSESSED with oatmeal (I became addicted after reading your blog) and so I was wondering if you had any other methods of preparing it? Whenever I try microwaving it, it overflows EVERYWHERE 🙁 . And to be honest I’m not even sure if we’ll even have a microwave! :/ worries worries. got any tips (being the oatmeal QUEEN that you are)?? hahah. thanks!
Leatitia says
You could prepare overnight oatmeal the night before and let your fridge ‘cook’ it while you sleep! 🙂
Kath says
I second overnight oats!
Missy says
I LOVE CHICAGO!!!!!
Amanda says
Have you ever tried bubble tea? I just recently tried it and got a Lavendar black tea with coconut flavor in it and it was amazing! The pearls at the bottom of the drinks are way too good!
Kath says
No! WOuld like to!
Amanda says
You should try finding a bubble tea place or its also called boba milk I think! It would be your type of thing!
Heather says
go go go! lol! good luck with everything!
Nina says
But will the oats still be creamy if I prepare it with just milk and water/the same way i prepare it on the stove? sans yogurt? i guess the only way to know is to try 😀
Thanks Leatitia and Kath!
