MINI MARATHON

Yesterday was the Chicago Marathon. I had forgotten about it. Do not misunderstand, I am not a runner, or even a jogger. My interest in marathon running is very close to zero. However, the past two years, I had mirrored my walking path for much of the marathon and stopped when I reached 26.2 miles. I had no interest in doing that yesterday. The weather was glorious with deep blue skies in every direction, and the temperature was near perfect, around 75°F - I took an urban hike that was 'only' 20 miles. It was my mini-marathon.

Check out the blueness of the sky in the photos below, they have not been enhanced with any photographic dazzle dazzle.

MINUTE MAID PARK

I surprised myself on Saturday morning, when I woke up at 5:00AM, and made the instant decision to get up, get dressed and head outdoors in the dark of night (sunrise was not until about 7:30AM) and hike ten miles. I spent a lot of time zigging and zagging and eventually I found myself near Minute Maid Park. My Saturday night did not end until around 1:00AM Sunday morning. Frankly, I am not sure how I managed to operate on so little sleep. But I did.

CUBS UPDATE. I don't want to be negative... but it is looking as if the World Series drought, currently at 108 years may soon be slipping to 109 years. With the loss of the Cubs to the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night, the Cubs are now faced with the loss of the World Series unless they begin a three game winning streak on Sunday. It's doable. It's been done before. It can be done again. But this team is going to need to actually score some runs if that is going to happen.
