Yesterday was an interesting day. I was in training for most of the day, bored off my ass. I swear I almost fell asleep no less than 5 times. I was able to come home early, though, and go running outside for the first time in 4 months. The last time I tried running I went 2.5 miles in one direction, tweaked my knee, and walked 2.5 miles back in 40-degree temps. FUN!
Last night, though, was down-right crazy... and I had a great view from 23-floors up. Apparently there was an anti-war rally downtown at 5pm last evening, to which about 3,500 people showed up. When they were done with that and ready to move, they made their way conspicuously onto Lake Shore Drive and managed to grow in size to as many as 10,000! This effectively shut down LSD and pinned many drivers in a virtual parking lot for 2+ hours.
Today there are two more rallies planned - one at 8am (who the hell shows up to a rally at 8am?!) and one at 5pm. This will mean only one thing - Traffic is going to suck all day and well into the evening rush-hour.
Methinks I'll be spending a little extra time in the suburbs tonight...
