I might have broken the 30 minute mark on my 3 mile run today, had it not been for Oprah Winfrey.  The traffic and chaos near Harpo Studios was insane.  I gave directions to a truck driver that was trying to get back to the Kennedy Expressway, had to stop for a couple of busy intersections and had to push my way through a sidewalk of smokers on the Oprah staff.

68 degrees and sunny.  Chicago’s official 3 day long “Indian Summer”.  The low temps will dip down into the high thirties by Saturday night.

I ran to one of my favorite albums of this year: “Filth” by Venetian Snares.

Again, Tiger Woods congratulated me on my new fastest mile.

I nearly broke an 11 minute/mile pace. I guess that isn’t bad for only running for a couple of weeks and being miserably out of shape.
