Notes
I usually look forward to my Thursday afternoon runs. The day leading up to them is usually pretty hectic, so they are a good chance to relax and unwind. Today, for whatever reason, I really wasn't into it. I just wanted to eat lunch and take a nap. I still forced myself out the door though. The first 10min were slow and uninspired. I seriously considered only doing like 3-4mi. About 15min in I started waking up and decided on a loop that was about 5mi. Just as I got to the point of the path that I would turn off at to complete the loop, I decided to add on. From there I became inspired to just go for it and do the full "Lake Ellyn" loop. That got me back to Wheaton at about 45min. Once you're that far in, you might as well do a full hour. So that's what I did. Ended up being a really good and refreshing building run. 4th day in a row of at least 1hr, too.
