This is the route we ran Saturday morning. It is a nice little park in Bloomington with sidewalk around it measuring less than a mile. There were quite a few other runners and walkers. There was a gradual incline on one side and of course a decline on the way back around. Since the Chicago course is flat, I haven't really trained on any hills except what I run into around town. I definitely noticed the incline Saturday! The weather was cloudy and mild. It was nice to just have a 3 mile run so that I wasn't exhausted for the day.
While we were in Bloomington we visited Oliver Winery and had a great time. We were able to go on a tour and get an understanding of the wine making process. The property was beautiful with gorgeous landscape. The above photo our view from where we sat on the deck and enjoyed some bread, cheese, and a beverage! Beyond the flowers is a sloping hill down to a pond with picnic tables. It was a pretty day with a great breeze. It was nice to sit and enjoy the day.
