I have family in Indiana, but none of the family has been in the Chicago area for a very long time. Would you mind telling me a little bit about what to see and do while we're there? Also, lodging - the lodging options seem to be a long way from the start, and parking is $50 a day. That seems awfully high - do you know if there are any other options out there?<br /><br />I completely understand if you're too busy to answer these questions, and we appreciate any and all information!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934176006773916798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375657361668886502.post-38635503741353661082011-01-15T13:58:42.842-08:002011-01-15T13:58:42.842-08:00I've been doing my treadmill runs at a 3% grad...I've been doing my treadmill runs at a 3% grade lately. It has slowed my pace considerably, but I am gradually getting the speed back.<br /><br />I was getting to the point where I preferred my treadmill runs to my outdoor runs, and that is not what I want. I want the treadmill runs to be challenging, and the outdoor runs to seem easy by comparison. Then, too, I read that running on an incline equals less pounding on the joints, and I figured that's probably not a bad thing, either. So your ladder (caterpillar?) would be perfect, but I'd probably make 2% the lowest point on the ladder if I wanted to maintain an incline throughout the run.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934176006773916798noreply@blogger.com
