Running in the City
The hustle and bustle of a big city like Chicago means that the sidewalks are often almost like a scene from the movie "Soylent Green" (.... "Soylent Green is people!"). However, if you get up early enough, the foot traffic (and vehicular traffic too) is far lighter. Since I tend to prefer running in the morning anyhow, this made the timing of my runs very easy to schedule.... I was typically on the pavement by 5:30 most mornings, and this made for a very enjoyable run through the city each day. In many ways, my various 5 mile routes gave me a more up-close and personal view and impression of many parts of the city that I would typically overlook or at least be less aware of as I worked to navigate through the bustling crowds. Last week, during the trip, I was able to get in 33 miles.

You are such a dedicated runner! I am so impressed. I am trying to remember a series of books, set in Chicago, I read in which the lead character, female, ran beside a lake. It might have been VI Warshawski. I shall have to look it up.
running is not for me..I have big boobs..I'd break my jaw with them bouncing up and down ..
