Chicago

Last weekend, Ruthie and I went to Chicago! We stayed downtown on the river and had a wonderful time!!! Our first day was a bit rainy and cool, as you can see...

The next day down by the River...
At Millennium park . . . with an extra finger!!!
At a park downtown
Buckingham Fountain
On Sunday morning, we ran the Chicago Half Marathon... which is exactly 13.1 miles! We did pretty slow, steady 11-12 minute miles and we crossed the finish line- so we met our goal!!!
We ran along with 20,000 other people and the crowd was massive! Ruthie after the race
Hana after the race...
Then, after we got a shower, rested and recuperated a bit, we went out of a wonderful lunch on the river.
We walked down by the lake shore

And later in the day met a friend for coffee. That night, we treated ourselves to Chicago style pizza !!!
Monday morning was beautiful and we biked about 14 miles up and down to lake shore. Here is Ruthie in front of Lake Point Tower.
We had such a wonderful time in Chicago and loved running our half marathon!
