Amazing Spring Run

It is a gorgeous day in Chicago. Temps are in the 60s, and I headed up to Evanston. I ran along the lake, then headed into downtown Evanston, then looped home. 6.23 miles altogether. I ran it in 1:13:41. Darned good I would say.


I felt pretty good during the run, and really enjoyed the sights. People were friendly. Many said hello. One guy gave me a thumbs up and told me, "Go man go!" I love stuff like that.

The only problem I had was I feel I am coming down with a cold. So I was sniffly, and felt bit gross. Still I pressed on. I listened to Steve Runner's interval, so I was running while he had been toiling away in Boston today. I am assuming he finished. Way to go Steve!! I felt if Steve could run on a bum ankle, I could run with an oncoming cold.

So today was a good run. Now I will take it easy the rest of the day and hope this cold does not in fact get worse.
