No really, after a long night o' drinkin', the best hangover cure is running a 5K. Head out to the 20th Annual New Year's Day 5k Fun Run & Walk this morning, and for just $25, get that resolution started! A portion of the proceeds will benefit the registered, non-profit organization, Lakeview Citizens Council. The LCC was founded to provide an opportunity to those who live, work or are identified with the social or business interests of the area, to work together for the common good of the Lake View Community. The organization's boundaries stretch from Lake Michigan west to the Chicago River, between Irving Park Road and Diversey. Pre-Register online (until noon, December 27). Race Day Registration takes place from 9:30 a.m.–10:45 a.m. at the North Avenue Fieldhouse.
The Fourth Annual Schubas' New Year's Rehab Night featuring Bowl Games on the big screen all day plus Live Band Rock 'n' Roll Karaoke with The Hootenanners at 10 p.m. It's FREE, and isn't that the best thing you've heard all day?
