pretty in pink

This spectacular photo (click on the image for a slightly larger view) was taken the other evening by our colleague Todd Rosenberg, who also happens to be the official photographer for the Chicago chapter of the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. Several buildings in the Loop are decked out in pink in honor of Mother's Day and the Y-ME events this weekend, and isn't it just amazing how Todd captured the John Hancock Center's reflection on the lake (once again, I'm experiencing camera envy).

Erik, Manuel, and I are all set to run in the race, bright and early on Sunday. I'm not sure how many thousands of runners they're expecting, but I've heard that it's the largest 5K in the city. So it'll probably be like elbowing your way through a crowded dance floor.

I just started running again over the last couple of weeks, so I should be fine for a 5K. Might gear up for a half-marathon or two this summer, but I don't think there are any more full marathons in my future. Just can't commit to all of that training.

Um, not that I have commitment issues or anything . . .

Good luck, Frank! I know you won't need it, but I'm very excited that you're running again. You were one of my marathon inspirations ;-) I just registered for the Marine Corps Marathon in DC, but it feels like the ol' ball 'n' chain right now!
