This run was to make up for Saturday's long run. Once again, I ran along Lake Michigan, but much further. My goal was to run to the sky scrapers, which I did. I passed up the new Soldier Field stadium before I turned around. I'm pretty sure I was the slowest runner, even though my heart rate was higher than normal at 129bpm. Average pace for 13.16 miles was 13:11 per mile. Maybe I can blame it on a sore throat that I picked up, or the humidity, or the old age, or just flat out of shape. But is was still a neat experience and a neat view. They are in the midst of park improvements, which meant there was an official detour on the running path.
