8r4d Sights from this mornings #autumn #trails #running

8r4d A year ago tonight I was wandering around Chicago having arrived that day for the upcoming marathon weekend. This year we’re enjoying the #autumn #trails while out on our regular #running meetup.

8r4d #running #trails in the rising heat and sunshine of #summer meant it felt fast and fast but was actually short and pretty slow. We kept to the shade as much as we could this morning.

Once upon a time in a hot, smoky day in July we went #running on some suburban #trails and I recorded some video…

8r4d #runclub switched to #trails #running mode this evening and we met at the Savage center to delve into the deep woods of Whitemud Creek which was slick and spicy from recent #rain … as recent as half way thru our run and a mad dash back to our cars.

Sunny Sunday and we were #running #trails in the #rivervalley —here’s some video

8r4d #running #trails on a Sunday morning in the sunshine was a great way to round out the weekend which has been a little cloudy and cool otherwise #rivervalley

8r4d A seven kick #running adventure through the #trails of the northeast #rivervalley made for a wild Thursday evening.

8r4d Day thirty and with one day left in this month long #running streak I drove all the way across town to run #trails with the gang over in Goldbar. We got a little lost in the woods, but in a good way, and ended up doing a 180 flip and going back the way we came when we realized the trail was going to be closer to an marathon than a Thursday run. Everyone else had pretty much had a busy week of running and racing to, so a bit of a slower pace was not unwelcome.

8r4d The 5 Peaks trail #running season is just about to take flight for another year and with it came the regular pre-race orientation run. We may not be doing the race on mother’s day but we did participate in tonight’s more casual event. I’m a little out of practice for the rolling #trails tho it would seem.
