7 am in the Windy City

Chicago in the Springtime....45 minutes along Lake Michigan this morning. Beautiful Spring day, and about 65 degrees outside. This is the first official workout on my own after the first day of training this past Sunday. My shins were killing me the whole way which is a sure fire sign that the weight I've gained can take its toll. I ran without my iPod which was an an interesting experience, since I thought i could not go without it. It was a pleasant surprise.

I am supposed to rest tomorrow. I will be in California starting Wednesday a.m. Hopefully, I will be able to run from San Diego.

Thank you for your financial and moral support!

Dan
