I went for my yearly run today, so now I'm done with that nonsense until 2015. I circled around Humboldt Park along with all the other families, runners, and dogs out in abundance.
Later, I took a walk in the other direction, towards Bucktown/Wicker Park. I didn't make it to Wicker Park proper, but I did make a loop in Park 567. What it lacks in a name, it makes up for in quaintness. This picture is pretty much it: an oval of grass surrounded by rocks and a paved path. Traffic on Milwaukee Ave speeds by while construction continues on The 606 and the Blue Line, but in the park things slow down. Shoes optional.

Yearly run? Why yearly?
ReplyDeleteI'm just curious.
Lovely pictures though!
I'm just not much of a runner...I don't plan out a special yearly run or anything, that's just usually how often I end up getting out, despite my desires to be fit/healthy. I might run again at some point over the summer, but there's no guarantee! :)
DeleteLovely photos. Your once a year run is one more than I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Once a year, if I'm lucky...running is not my thing. :)
DeleteYou remind me that I need to move away from this computer once in a while.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to have that reminder. Glad I could help!
DeleteLovely photos. I wish I had your eye. :) Lisa
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's mostly pointing and shooting...and for every good photo, I have five more not-so-great ones left on my phone!
DeleteI enjoyed the photos and laughed at "yearly" run.
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped by!
