After running in hot and humid DC last week, I was excited to run in Chicago on Saturday. I was in town for my friend Lauren's Bachelorette Party, so I was pretty impressed with myself for fitting in my morning run. The decision of where to run was any easy one since my girlfriends don't live far from the lakefront. I ran down Division Street, took the tunnel under Lakeshore Drive, and off I went.
Running by lake was so much fun and the perfect distraction for me. I think I had a toothy grin plastered on my face all 3 miles. There were tons of people out and about for a Saturday morning. Groups were walking, running and biking on the trail (I even saw a few people in Team in Training jerseys!). If I lived in Chicago that would definitely be my standard running route, although I'm sure once the Chicago winter hit I would stick to the treadmill.
This week the hill workouts begin! As a person who likes my running routes to be nice and flat, I'm having a hard time pumping myself up for hills. I will be in at my parent's house in Portage for my first hill workout, so I have a couple good hills in mind. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
