We started at Howard Street at 8:15 AM, and reached Cermak Road at 1:57 PM exactly—including a pause for lunch at North Avenue, from 11:20 AM until 12:15 PM.

So that’s 12 miles in 4.75 hours. Not too shabby!

We took tons of photos. My camera had 164 on it, and Sean and Steph both had cameras of their own with plenty of photos. We’re going to create a Flickr pool with them.

But for now? I really, really, really, really, really want to drink about a gallon of water, and put my feet up on a cushion!
