Where I Run and Workout
If I’m running, working out or training indoors you can find
me at On Your Mark Training
in the West Loop.
If I’m running outdoors, I like
a few different routes based
on how long I feel like going
that day. Here are three of my favorites. Wrigleyville to the Lake; Lakeshore 6 Miler; Lakeshore/Lincoln Park 10 Miler
On My Playlist
Music is an inspirational part of my life and I hardly ever workout without my iPod. I have to admit, I like a lot of different music, right now I have anything from AC/DC and the Foo Fighters to Biggie Smalls and a lot of Country on my playlist.
My Hobbies
One of my first passions in life
is cooking, I love the way it brings
family and friends together.
For fun, I love going skiing, whether
it be on snow or water, it’s an
amazingly free feeling.
Competitively, I love competing
in triathlons, there’s still a
competitive spirit inside me from
years of playing high school and
college sports.
My Favorite Restaurants
I’ve had the luxury of living in two of the greatest food cities in the world, San Francisco and now
Chicago. Here are few of
The French Laundry; Avec; Delfina; Osha Thai Noodle House
My Indulgences
Even those of us in the health and fitness industry have our moments when we need to indulge in something that makes life worth living! My favorite place for a burger is Kumas Korner, They have about 30 different kinds of burgers and I haven’t met one I didn’t like. If you call yourself a Chicagoan you have to have a favorite Pizza place, mine is Pete’s Pizza, gotta go with the sausage! Lastly, I almost always have a little Edy’s Slow Churned Ice Cream in my freezer to satisfy my sweet tooth.
