Red Bear, Running and More
Well word on the street is, Red Bear was in town. In this very house. And I missed it.
I can't believe I missed the Red Bear! He came and left all while I was sleeping the night away. The only remnants of the Red Bear this morning were a pillow and blanket on the couch. And perhaps a few tufts of red fur. Okay...not really any red fur, but you know what I mean. So I'm not any closer to knowing who the Red Bear really is, other than the fact that he is elusive. Perhaps his new name should be The Elusive Red Bear.
In other news, we went running this morning. Elizabeth took us to a beautiful forest perserve. I had a nice 70 minute aerobic run to do, Ness had some running to do and Elizabeth had hill repeats. Gotta say I wasn't too jealous of her. :)
I ran on a incredible crushed limestone trail and the weather was gorgeous! All the heat and humidity of yesterday was gone and instead replaced with a beautiful sunny, cool, breezy day. Amazing! Especially because I know it's STILL raining at home. I lucked out this week for sure. I'll have to say that there are some great places to train in the suburbs of Chicago and lots of open water BUT the only down side is, there is a lot of driving to get to everything. That only adds to the total workout time. Which makes me feel blessed that I can ride and run right out my front door. (and my pool is a mere 5 minutes away)
Anyway that was our morning. Lunch, blogging, relaxing, (and Elizabeth actually working - glad SOMEONE works around here) has filled the hours since and soon we are leaving for a group ride. I haven't been on a group ride in a longggggg time so it should be fun. But I hear this specific ride is really big so I'm a bit nervous!
Details to come I'm sure. And pictures too...if one of us could actually remember to bring a camera! (I think we need Marit, the official camp photographer!)

NOW you can understand the barrage of emails that I got after getting back from SC. Wher are the photos - everyone wanted to know.... Just get a disposable one. :) That should make it better and you'll have proof. Just like the elusive Red bear!
GREAT day - LOVE the limestone trails. So much fun. Your run sounded awesome! Keep up the great work!
