My absence on Virily has been because I’am still adjusting to my work schedule which I’am bogged down with during the weekdays, Monday-Friday. Other than that, everything is going good and I’am getting my training workouts in for Detroit Marathon, mostly on the weekends which I anticipate. I would like to do things differently the way I share my writings and pictures with you all which I’am sure you enjoy by your responses. I would like to call this ‘Out and about’, where I get on my soapbox and share with you things that I have done or saw lately. How does that sound?

While headed to a running expo at Roosevelt Collections in Chicago, I just had to capture this to share with you all. Gorgeous, huh?



Just recently I incorporated speed work into my workouts because not only do I have Detroit Marathon coming up, but also a handful of 5k (3.1 mile) runs which are more fast paced. I tend to love 5k runs because I feel as though I can go all out due to it being a shorter distance in comparison to other races I run. I always try to stay in good 5k shape and this workout is one of my favorite speed workouts.

In our America, all people are equal!

Good for you staying busy and in shape. Keep it up!
I am jealous of where you are running. I miss Chicago!
I guess I get to see it again, through your pictures!
I really know how to pick my spots : ) I actually find them while exploring then I end up going out again to capture pictures of them. I have more to share of South Loop near CTA Roosevelt. Beautiful area!
Now the south loop, I sat in traffic there so many times.
I bet! Total holding pot, lol. I dread driving downtown in the summer when many events are going on. Now I just catch the train when I do not want to drive.
