I am in Chicago on business and was able to get out for a run after work and before dinner tonight. I left from my hotel beside the Merchandise Mart and headed east along the river until I arrived at Lake Michigan. I ran around the area a little bit before heading to the north side of the channel and into the Navy Pier. Than I headed north for a while and zigzagged my way through town and back to my hotel.
I had fun on my run. I picked up the pace a little bit, except for stopping at the lights. I found it a lot easier (faster) to run on the paved services. However, I much prefer the trails.
After my run I met a friend for dinner at Gino's East on Superior. We did the deep dish pizza thing and washed it down with a couple of pitchers of Oktoberfest. I'm gonna pay for it when I weight in on Monday!

I love Chicago. It is by far my favorite big city. Can't wait to go back!
