Good ride, almost got drenched, but fortunately only sprinkled a bit. Had to slow down few times not to hit some careless people.
Oh, at one point stopped to watch a remote controlled F18 jet!!! The show was awesome and looked exactly like the real thing.

Very humid and 80 something made it a bit hard, but kept the pace slow. It actually felt like the legs were moving, but I wasn't going anywhere.

It started raining the moment I left the house, but overall, not a bad run. Was tired from yesterday, but the moment I got going, it was back to normal. Not many people on the trail today, but I guess in few hours the lakefront will be packed. I can already hear the explosions.
Had only 24oz of Gatorade and it was very humid.

We had fun at the Taste of Chicago last night. I have never seen that many people in my life (1 000 000 apparently, according to some estimates!!!) and the fireworks were awesome. Feel really tired today. Was planning a run, but right now that doesn't sound too good. And there's an Ironman New Zealand on channel 5-3 at 10am which means couch potato...

Processing your request, please wait...
Yes, 5:00am! Bloody hell.
Nothing to report other than my attitude's getting worse as I ride in traffic. There's so many dangerous morons!
Got the bread, paper, some ginger bread/chocolate cookies and apples. Yes, apples, like 4 lbs or so. That back pack was heavy on the way home.
I'm glad I made it before the rain started.
