Just a few scenes from a quick weekend trip to Chicago for a race with my boy — a half marathon for him, a 10K for me.

And apparently a half marathon for a Pokemon trainer and his Pikachu.

The 10K took a different course than the half…all along Lake Michigan. It was gorgeous. And a total exercise in restraint for the photographer in me.

I’m actually learning to take photographs on the move!

We’re both worn out, but this was a lot of fun.

Chicago, you are awfully purdy.
