So lately I've ben getting really pretty bored of my running options here... it's either run North, or run South, turn around half way and come back. Not to say that the bike trail can't be interesting, but compared to all the trails that I'm used to, it's gets monotonous.
When my mom was here last weekend, we stayed in Evanston and ran on some trails along the Lake there. So this weekend I tried something new. I took my school ID, my train pass, $4, phone and iPod, and ran up to Evanston, around Northwestern, then to downtown Evanston. I stopped in at Peets after stretching, grabbed a coffee ($3.72, I brought just enough!) and took the L back to school. It was so fun to try something new and adventurous, get to see new places. Even though it was EXTREMELY windy, it was still fun. By Northwestern there are big boulders that line the trail, and the wind was so strong that the Lake looked like an ocean with all its waves, and when they crashed against the rocks it splashed about 15 feet high!
After enjoying my new long run so much, Sunday I convinced my roommate to run it with me again! I think it'll probably become my new weekend long run, or at least change up my weekly run a bit now and then.
PS: Claire and I found the dishes situation in the dinning hall pretty funny! There wasn't even room for us to put our dishes in...
