The weather in Chicago is like the Republican primaries - every time something different. There are very cold days with temperatures till minus 18 Celsius, and then mild foggy and rainy days, and then there is the icy wind, and on Friday, even the Swiss press was talking about a snow storm in downtown Chicago. All flights were indeed canceled in O`Hare but I have a feeling it was more because they did not manage to plough the snow off the landing strips rather than because of a storm. It was snowing all day, yes, but a storm is something else for us.
On Saturday it happened to be a mix of everything we had had the whole week: snow, fog, rain and ice in a slushy minus seven. Normally, we would not even think of leaving the apartment but the time had come to run my 10 km race, the Chicago Polar Dash in Grant Park and Lakefront, my home trails. It was everything one would expect of a run on a day like this and it was awesome. During the 1.05.51 (Yai!) Clerg was running around too, with his camera.
Clerg just came in and said it was plus four outside. And Newt Gingrich won South Carolina.
And now there is a thunder storm with lightning (I promise, I am not making it up).

AntwortenLöschen:-) Ma ise olen ka väga rahul, see oli mu dream time. Ma sattusin sellest külmast ja värgist nii ähmi, et ei märganudki suurest adrenaliinihulgast väsimust tunda ja lihtsalt jooksin. Järgmine on siis 16 km, vaatame, kas saan kiiremaks ka...
