Sunday May 16,2010



Is it spring yet!

Cloudy and overcast, great day to run but it should be spring. For the most part the past 4 weekends have been pretty ugly.

I need to get yard in shape, but the days I have off it is raining, or windy and cold, so summer please get here.
I for one do not mind running in the heat or humidity, its has never really bothered me .

This morning was again on the Monon Trail heading south this time and under the new tunnel at 96th street. It is pretty neat, but dark. So I am thinking the lights they have installed should be on, just because.


I remember one year at the Chicago Marathon on a bright day , as you went under the McCormicks Place tunnel for the first time at about 24 miles you couldn't see a thing. It was like the leaders and us regulars had someone throw tear gas at your face. Your eyes were dilating and trying to adjust, but it takes a bit of time.



Thats what will happen on this tunnel, just watch someone will go in the dark from bright sunlight and swerve in front of a biker and well the next year Chicago Marathon had lights on in the tunnel.


Would have liked to get a few more miles today , but right glut still tight and don't want to do anything crazy. I may take a spin on the bike today.
