Notes
Decent long run. Allergies really had me feeling groggy today. A bit warmer than it's been lately but it ended up not being as bad as I worried it would be.
Great route - started at the parking lot for Danada just off of Naper. Saw Remley and his team there just as I was starting out. Took the long (southern) trail through Danada and Herrick. Stopped at the bathrooms at the lake briefly. From there I headed west on the prairie path. I thought about heading into blackwell but crossing Winfield AND Butterfield seemed like it was going to be too much of a hassle. Plus, I knew that there were good drinking fountains along the trail in Warrenville. I can't say the same for Blackwell. Headed all the way out to where I-88 passes over the path. At about 11mi I ate some fruit snacks. They did an okay job. They're cheaper than gu but nowhere near as easy to eat.
Took the slightly shorter way back through Herrick and thought about adding on once I got back into Danada but I decided that 19 was plenty for today.
