RUN FOR THE HILLS!




We did it! 13.1. miles in 2.13.57 - for cold, rainy, slippery trail running (and having a sore throat/runny nose) I'll take it with great joy.
Jaime wasn't able to run the actual trail (the race filled up before she could register) but she ran the roads around the park and had a nice 9 mile run herself! Megan came down from Madison and was a very welcome site at mile 9 when I was starting to fade.

Finished the race, stopped at Duncan for a blueberry coffee, came back to Chicago and spent the day with the Sandlin family (Jess included because he just happened to be in Chi-town for a conference, crazy!). We took the river architecture boat tour, ate at Corner Bakery, and enjoyed the beautiful fall day.
