I definitely recommend the lakefront path, and I also second the suggestion to run South from the downtown area. You’ll hit Museum Campus, which can be busy on weekends, but going North can be a disaster up near Oak Street, North Avenue, and Fullerton if it’s nice out; that’s where all the beaches are and they tend to attract a lot of people who aren’t cognizant of the people who are trying to use the path for anything other than meandering at a very slow pace.

The lake path is beautiful!! It adds a whole different element to running/exercising. It is definitely the most popular running spot in Chicago!

Love the Real Deal! I wish I could make it to Blogher – I even got a waiting list ticket, but had to pass because of my new gig…

LOVE map my run I used it but it’s hard to see if there are sidewalks sometimes. :( I’m thinking the lake will be fine though! I’m so psyched!

Have you used http://www.mapmyrun.com/? I’ve only used it a few times, but you can pinpoint a starting point, tell it how far you want to run, and it will map it for you. Or if you just run and want to know how far you went, you can draw it on a map too. OR you can type in the city and it will give you some suggested routes. Very useful for new cities.

Have a great trip! There’s 18 miles of paved path on the lake, we biked it when I was in Chi-town last month and it was great! Hope you have a blast :)

I’m really looking forward to meeting you and MizFit. Can’t wait for our panel! I’ll be at the speakers reception and will try to make it to Chi Bar, too. See you in Chicago.
