Sunrise is Chicago was at 7:01am this morning.
I know this, because I saw it.
I ran out of the Hilton off Michigan at 6:15am this morning and headed north along Lakeshore run and bike path. Went for an easy pace 4.5 miles, then turned around and ran a 4 mile tempo run as was listed on our schedule.
My 4 miles where around 6:40 pace, I think. My Garmin is old and crappy, but it told me as I ran that i was holding between a 8.8mph and a 9.4mph pace, which using my handy little iPhone app Glenda created, called TriCalc. $1.99 i think. (she also made a Running only Calculator), tells me it was between a 6:52 ans 6:23 mi/mile pace.
I was chilly and nice, about 44 degrees and a little breezy. I'd forgotten how it felt to run in the chilly weather, because I couldn't really get warmed up and felt like my legs muscles were working extra hard to keep the pace. But it was still great fun to get our there and run along the water's edge enjoying different scenery.
Total run 9.5 miles
Time to jump in the shower, to then meet a work colleague and head over to Lou Mitchell's for a skillet breakfast! oh yeah! Check it out!
