CHICAGO — Chicagoans aren't afraid of the cold ... right?
Nike is inviting notoriously proud Chicagoans to train outdoors this winter as part of the Get Out Here challenge.
And they're not leaving us high and dry, so to speak.
The company has created a "floating gym," a futuristic-looking lit-up river barge, and is hosting free training sessions from Dec. 9-12, according to a news release Friday.
