| Fireworks at Navy Pier, Independence Day Weekend, 2016 |
The day began with a 97 minute session on the elliptical machine.
After lunch, I set out for a long holiday weekend hike. My goal was to reach the Museum of Science and Industry (about ten miles south). I set out for this hike by traveling two miles north. By the time I finally arrived at the Museum Campus, a bit more than four hours later, I had walked 18 miles.
.
Along the way, traveling the Lakefront Trail I passed a WARNING SIGN that sent spasms of well-being down my spine. Just reading the sign made me feel safe and secure.
 |
I think I spotted a couple of gang members nearby dealing automatic weapons and drugs and they were literally quaking in the boots. (OK, that didn't really happen - but you have to agree that the sign is unintentionally hilarious and willfully stupid.
|
As I had planned, once I did finally arrive at the Museum Campus, I hopped on a bus to take me back to downtown. Was I ever lucky. Almost the moment that I arrived at the bus stop, so did the bus. And it was an express bus! I can't remember ever being on a city bus that was zipping along the highway at 45+ miles per hour. Once I got off the bus, it was still a two mile walk to the local Whole Foods to grab a snack before meeting my family at Navy Pier. After the fireworks show, our family walked home. When midnight struck, I had walked 22 miles, and 60,299 steps. I broke personal record of steps within a week. My previous record had been 311,404 during Thanksgiving week Nov 22, 1015 thru November 28th. My new (dubious) record for most steps in one week is now 312,000. If only I hadn't slacked off on Tuesday, I might have really crushed the record.
