Halfway through winter: Feb 1st - Feb 8th

Sunday -- A warm winter day in Chicago

5 mi, lake shore north. When I looked at the forecast a few days ago and realized that it was going to be above freezing on sunday, it really lifted my spirits. When I left this morning it was about 2 degrees over freezing and breezy (a nice breeze, not the death ice winds from Canada), and basically felt fantastic. Apparently I wasn't the only person who thought so, since I saw dozens of other runners along the lake, along with cyclists, parents with strollers, people walking their dogs, etc. Another plus about this was the fact that the trail along the lake was completely clear, so I was able to hit a nice stride about 2 miles in.

Upon arriving home, I made blueberry scones and hot tea with milk. Life is good.
