12 Days and Counting - Fall Along the Lake

This morning I headed out on a 3.1 mile run along Lake Michigan at a local park nearby. It was a gorgeous morning. Upper 40s greeted me as I headed outside. I took it easy, no need for speeding my way through this run.

I felt great. I especially like watching the water lap up on the shore. One of the best moments on this route, is when I head out on the pier, and can look south towards the city. Chicago has a magnificent skyline, and it looked its usual great self today.

People were out mostly walking dogs this morning. A few dogs greeted me. People were in a good mood. Lots of "good mornings". I love the friendly folk I encounter on the runs.

Coach Scott has reviewed how I am doing, and thinks all systems are go for the marathon in Indy. He is confident I will break 6 hours. I just need to work on my confidence now.

Charlie! I'm so envious of your stamina and get-up-and-go-ie-ness. :) I just can't seem to get the energy to move. But good for you, my friend, good for you!

Whew! When I saw the title of your post, I thought you had fallen on your run. Isn't English wonderful? I'm glad to see that I was wrong, and that you are on rack for your run. Go, Charlie!
