That's right! Don't be confused, we're not in California - it's the WINDY City! Our windows are open and the air is fresh.... It's the perfect day for a run on the lakefront! Six miles... you bet!!!
Familiar faces, familiar places.... I cannot describe to you how beautiful the lakefront path was this evening. I <3 Heart <3 the Beach! The path was flooded with runners, bikers, walkers, business peeps, and random tourists. Even the buff-body-builder-man with the blond mullet and the two sizes too small spandex shorts made it out for a jog. OH! And Cheri from New Trier was on the path too! What a great city!?!?!
Although it wasn't the same running without Emily or Jake, it was still a fabulous run. I feel like I know that path like the back of my hand - every bump and crack (well, not really). Jake and I have stomped in those tracks too many times to count. Tonight brought back great memories from training for the half-marathon last year and reminded me how wonderful this training experience will be. I got to run in my new shorts, a t-shirt, and even my water belt made a cameo, so sexy!
Unfortunately, it isn't here to stay and the forecaster-men are predicting "wintery-like" precipitation on Friday - yuck! Kids were actually wearing shorts and flip-flops at school today, do you believe it? I guess it's too early to pack away my boots-boots this season... apparently I may need them just one more time.
I will be in San Diego visiting Rodeen in just 2 weeks (or a little more)... I can't wait! Speaking of San Diego..... I'm thinking about incorporating one more run into my training - the San Diego Rock n' Roll Half-Marathon in June.... any thoughts? I need to fundraise a total of $5000, so I'll keep you posted on how that's going. I haven't officially committed yet, so until then.... keep spreading the word about TNT! Thanks, kids!
