Spent Saturday night in the St. Louis suburbs, drove through the snow to Chicago and got in some great sightseeing. Today drove from my downtown hotel over to Lincoln Park and ran four miles along the lakefront. Bitterly cold (21 degrees), but a beautiful morning and a very pleasant run in spite of the cold. We're heading for Wisconsin this afternoon.

Another four mile run today, this time around Christmas Mountain Village outside Wisconsin Dells. This is a ski area, and the slopes have plenty of snow,  but they're closed. Too bad. I would have liked to give it a try. As you would expect for a ski area, it's fairly hilly around here. My loop went from the village out to the main highway (not much traffic) and back up hill into the village. We have a nice little cabin, not real plush but comfortable, looking out on the golf course (which is also snow-covered and closed). So we have skiing and golf here and I can't do either one. Oh well.
