Recovery week in Chicago


February is a hard month. It is still winter, but spring is SO close. The days are getting longer. There are beautiful days of sun and close to 50 degrees followed by a day of 3-6 inches of snow and a high of 30. This has been the pattern the last few weekend-great 3+ hour ride outside on Saturday followed by a hard trainer ride Sunday (no chance to go outside because of the snow!).

My training is progressing well. I put in 4 solid weeks and now I am on a recovery week. I am really looking forward to this week-and I really mean a recovery week. Last time I had recovery week I still managed the same hours of training on a normal week-guess that really wasn't a recovery week. But this time I planned my rest week that same week we are going to Chicago. Yes..I know...Chicago in February. We should be going to Tucson or San Diego, but we are going to Chicago. No bike. No swimming. Just running and good times with the ENDURE IT! crew.

Jeff and I are really looking forward to the trip. We need a break from our everyday life. Good thing are happening, but it has been a stressful trip getting there. We need a great away. A trip with great people and a cool city. A trip where training is NOT a focus. A trip where we can relax. David and his ENDURE IT! family are such cool people--fun, warm, outgoing, and crazy. Just the type of people we need to relax with.

We plan on spending a day in the city. Never been in the city itself. Anyone have any suggestions for Chicago-what to do and see?

Rock On
