The temperature on the bank registered -5 as I drove to the Inwood Athletic Club this morning at 5:30. Call me crazy, but I am beginning to enjoy my early morning workouts despite the shock of crawling out of a warm bed and being greeted by a wall of cold air as I leave the house. This habit of rising early to sweat is a new one. . .though I have been a long time exerciser, I find that shaking up my schedule, renews my body and my mind.
The sun was rising as I ended my workout and I took some time to run a few errands. . .
The I&M canal runs through the city of Joliet and the banks are joined by a series of lovely draw bridges. When it is a particularly cold day, steam rises from the canal as the warmer waters hit the frigid air. Today was one of those days. . .here are a couple of pictures I snapped during my morning travels.
