Tuesday: 5 miles
Tuesday night we met at a gorgeous wooded trail in our area – crushed limestone path, meandering creek. Here are a few of the folks that ran that night. We almost lost two of them.
Actually we did!
The trail winds around quite a bit and part of it is an island which is pretty small (0.30 miles around) but like Groundhogs Day, you can keep going round and round before you realize you are in the same place.
Hey, wait a minute, didn't we pass that a few minutes ago?
And in the woods every thing kinda looks the same…
Anyhoo, we went for burgers and beer afterwards. Except for the two ladies that got lost. We found them, but I don't think they were too happy :(
I plan to train more often on this trail for the half marathon I'm running on Labor Day - the back end of the race is in these woods. Lots of hills to practice on.
As you know, it can get pretty hot and humid in Chicagoland.
humidity + woods = lots of bugs + lots of OFF
(and they said there would be no math)
