The last 20 mile run is finally here. We have all been looking forward to this milestone!
We've talked about two routes now. Doing the Airport run again and last weekend we talked about a Chatham run that incorporates some country roads. Check out this route to see if it looks like what everyone had in mind. 9 miles of it is a combination of the Wabash trail and the Interurban Trail.

Let me know how you feel about this. The alternative is a Airport Run with a few more miles added to it. Here's that 17 mile route: http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=314353
We can add a distance at several points.
Another idea that came to mind this week is running the 20 mile route starting at 7:30 am so that we can be running during the time of day of the Chicago Marathon. The forecast for Saturday looks like it will be about 60 starting out and moving up to about 75 by noon. If you like the idea let me know.
Bill, I do like the Chatham route.. for nothing else but a change.
ReplyDeleteHey - what a great run yesterday. I can't believe I consider a 12-miler a short run. I didn't even need much recovery.
ReplyDeleteI won't be doing the 20 miles next Saturday, so don't go by me, but I agree with Joni that the Chatham route looks like a nice change. I could do the 9-mile trail combo portion.
Have a great week all --Sandy
