Jogging in Chicago

It was still dark outside when I first stepped outside of the Sheraton Chicago Hotel on the banks of the Chicago River, on a Saturday morning in September 2007.

Twenty-five years had passed since the last time I had taken an early morning run in the City of Broad Shoulders. The skyline was barely recognizable. The weather was in the high sixties, just right for running. There were lots of other fun surprises during this

This is an hour and eleven minute audio diary I made while running and breathless that morning.

I have left in the back ground noises. In fact, the recording is totally unedited. Sometimes you can hear my feet pounding the pavement. At other times, I was walking and enjoying the ambiance of the sleeping giant.
