Lazy and Slow
Running from the Sheratonacross the river, down the steps to the riverwalk, and out to the lakefront. There's a nicely paved bike path. I run past Buckingham fountain and I'm already tired. It's not too hot, but definitely hotter than SF ever gets. I'm on the path between the lake and Lake Shore Drive. tons of bikers and walkers and people out enjoying the day.
I decide to run to Shedd Aquarium, which has a new expansion tacked onto the back of it.
There's a gaggle of Segways... I think some sort of park tour. Strange. I run up to Shedd on a dirt path, back on the sidewalk as I approach. There's the water taxi. And then run up the stairs to the door and tag it.
And then run around behind Shedd, and contemplate going out to the planetarium. But am too lazy. tomorrow I'll go further (didnt wind up running on Sunday). Instead, run behind Shedd, and then into Grant park, through the viaduct under Lake Shore drive. I run for a bit, back to the Essex Hotel, and then start walking/jogging.
Across from the Orchestral Hall, I feel like running, it'a time for glory gear. And I run in high gear for a couple blocks. Then i'm done.
When I get to the art institute, I'm just walking, cooling down.
And then i'm off into Millenium Park.
Actual running time? 5:25pm to maybe 6:10pm. 3 miles, maybe.
