Notes

Pretty good workout today. Drove down North ave til I hit the beginning of the Des Plaines River Trail. Wanted to explore that a bit as a potential close trail run option to my apartment. Deal today was the same as the past 2 weeks - 6-7 steady miles, then cut down the last 5 pretty good. Headed north for the first 6 on the trail. It was pretty damn muddy and that made it difficult. Otherwise it'd be a great trail. I don't think the GPS was worth a damn in the woods because I'm pretty sure I was averaging a good bit faster than 7:20s. On the way back I saw that there's the DP river road that runs parallel to the trail so I decided to progress back on the street. Pretty shitty because there's no sidewalk and it's a busy road so I probably pissed off more than a couple drivers running on the shoulder. Cutdown went well. Didn't feel bad running 5:40 and got after it a little bit the last mile. Not as spent at the end as I was last week.

that's my go-to city trail even though it's in Melrose Park
