Happy National Run Day! I hope you had a chance to go out and run. We woke up this morning it was RAINING! Thunder and lightning rain, too, not just a sprinkle. There went my plans of getting in 5 miles! I was super bummed. We drove to Schaumburg for the game tonight, and we got here in time to go to the forest preserve in Elk Grove, so I ran 3 miles out and back for a total of six. The trail loops around and is 7.7, so Steve ran the whole thing, but I didn't have time to do the whole loop before he finished. Somewhere, if I had kept going, there are actual elk, which I think is pretty cool, but I missed them. I ran from where we parked on the "red" trail to the bridge. I thought that was a good place to turn around, although I did run to the middle of it first!
It was kind of a cloudy, misty day, as you can tell by my FABULOUS hairstyle when I finished! At least the scenery is nice (and it's a flat route!). There were people fishing, and some on bikes. I have to say, the runners I passed weren't very friendly. I thought I'd get a few waves at least.
I just banged my knee and I think I bruised it, so I'm in more pain from being a klutz than from running!
