Nice run along the Des Plaines River Trail. So far while in Chicago I've ran 30 miles of this oak tree lined single track trail from heaven, and haven't seemed to touch half of it yet. Who would have thought Chicago had such a gem?

This afternoon at O'Hare I watched teens takinG selfies using a payphone. They were amazed such a thing existed. Could be the highlight of my day.

Chicago has extensive trails. They get all the money and vote in corruption. IL is quite the state.

I didn't know pay phones existed anymore.

FYI- something you might want to be monitoring for future GC runs: http://running.competitor.com/2014/07/news/grand-canyon_108186
