I read an article in a fitness magazine saying you can get twice the workout you normally do by walking on the beach.  I live about a five minute drive from Montrose Beach.  I don't take advantage of Chicago's beaches.  It might be because the sun and I aren't on the friendliest trims.  Sunday was a little chilly and overcast, a prefect beach day for me!  The dog beach was hopping.

Montrose Beach also has a bird sanctuary.  I walked through it and really enjoyed the peace of the overgrown habit and the birds singing.

I walked for a little over an hour.  I have to say this was a lot more enjoyable then just walking around the neighborhood.  I must put this on my weekend routine.  It worked prefect because I drove straight to the grocery store after my walk.  Multitasking on the weekend, gotta love it.
