This past Sunday 34,792 people crossed the starting line to embark on the 26.2 mile journey that was the 2009 Chicago Marathon. It was a chilly morning in Chicago, markedly different from the mid 80s weather of last year’s marathon that caused many people to quit halfway through. This Sunday, however, was deemed by many to be “perfect running weather” and residents of our Chicago condos had a perfect view of the action.
The runners of this year’s marathon wound their way through many of Chicago’s lovely and unique neighborhoods, but once fatigue set in many participants probably didn’t notice much of their surroundings. Luckily they were fresh and alert at the starting line near beautiful Lakeshore East so they could appreciate the clean lines and sparkling glass and steel of our gorgeous Chicago condos.
Residents of Lakeshore East didn’t need to venture out into the cold weather to watch the runners gather on Sunday morning. Some of them may have rolled out of bed, turned up their heat and sipped a hot cup of coffee while they watched thousands of runners and spectators all bundled up and breathing out white puffs of breath. After the race started and the runners were out of view, Lakeshore East residents could slowly make their way out to Sunday brunch, or they could put their coffee cups in the sink and go right back to bed.
When you live in Lakeshore East you’re certainly given the opportunity to experience Chicago and its traditions, right from the comfort of your own home. From the Chicago Marathon to the Air & Water Show, the list goes on. The Lakeshore East area is a hotbed of activity in Chicago, all year round.
