12.64 miler on the lake...and with an old friend

I did manage two 5 milers last week, one on Wednesday and one on Thursday. They were great, felt strong, like that distance.

Saturday since we were in the city for the weekend I get in touch with a grammar school friend that I know lives in the city and is a runner too. I have been wanting to run with her and it just so happened to work out. We met on Irving and Western (near my mom's house) and we ran down to the lake, south to about Oak Street Beach then headed back north and said good-bye at the YMCA (my old gym, her current one). It was a great run, slower pace than I'm used to but it was nice to talk the entire run and just enjoy the day and beautiful lakefront. Chicago is such a pretty city and sometimes I forget how pretty it is.
