A Run Through Chicago

When I visit a new city, I like to do a few of the same things each time:

1. Run - it's the perfect way to maximize sightseeing and get through several miles in a short time

2. Ride the public transit system - I like to compare other city's systems to the Metro

3. Visit the local Kate Spade store (weird, I know)

You may remember my Run Through DC Post from last year, when I carried my phone along with me and took photos of the sites and scenery as I ran.  So, here's the "run" blog: Chicago Edition.

Thanks to Kern's Nike Fitness App, we were able to track our exact milage and do a 10K.

We started running down the Mag Mile towards the Lakefront.

The Pump House

I was in awe of how blue Lake Michigan looked--gorgeous!

Bike rentals!  Another fabulous way to the see the city.  

We ran through the Navy Pier area.

Made it to Buckingham Fountain!

One of the largest fountains in the world!

Keepin' on Keepin' on...

The steps of the Field Museum

Finally time to turn back and return to the hotel

Almost home...and I'm tired...

After a morning of running, we were ready to conquer the Food Show.
Come back next week to see amazing photos and video from the show!
