I slept in this morning. Well. . . at least I woke up at 6 and went back to sleep. . . woke up at 7 and went back to sleep. A few minutes later I gave up.
It's colder than I expected here in the Windy City.
Yesterday, we were having trouble figuring out the trains from the airport to our hotel (imagine that. . . ), and a couple of guys on their way to the Cubs game helped us out. The said it was in the 90's last week.
This week? Not so much.
More like 50's.
Add to that the winds. . . don't get me wrong - I'm used to wind! But coming off Lake Michigan the wind is COLD.
SO I bundled up with everything sort of appropriate for running that I had in my suitcase. . . and headed out to Lake Shore Drive.
Turns out running is just as hard here as it is at home.
But colder.
And then it started raining.
I'm not complaining, mind you. The fact that I CAN run. . . on the shore of Lake Michigan. . . by myself. . . at 8 on a Thursday morning.
Is truly awesome!
The Venti half-caff skinny mocha warmed me right up.
Have I mentioned how very SPOILED I am feeling right now?
Thanking the Lord for this amazing time.
Now I think I'll hit Michigan Avenue to find a warm jacket! Ha!

How fun that you got to go! I love Chicago too or ANYWHERE that we can get away to every once in awhile! But, Chicago definitely holds a lot of memories for us. :)
