Oddly quiet
There were hardly any runners on the Chicago Lakefront Trail today during lunch! It’s like they’re recovering from some big marathon or something, ha. (Or, didn’t want to run in the rain.)
Of the shockingly few runners I saw, I actually knew three of them from when I ran Ragnar in 2011! It’s fun to see people I know while running on the path and say hello – since otherwise, people tend not to acknowledge each other at all. It still feels so odd to me not to!
I love running in NYC right after the NYC marathon because Central Park is so much quieter! Most fall marathons are done and it’s just people who run for more than just marathon. (That sounds snobby, I know. Some people need a break too, and that’s okay!)
I keep saying hi to people in the mornings lol and some still ignore me – its all good. A few are friendlier now 🙂
I like a quiet path!
