Report

My husband and I started in Itasca and ended in Brookfield. We had never been south of Elmhurst on the trail before. We got lost about 17 miles in. There was construction and we couldn’t see the path. Had to turn around. It added about half a mile on. The path was not very well labeled after York Woods so we had to pull out the phone and check the map a few times. Last 10k entailed a bunch of walking because I hate running long on the road, but we wanted to finish the route. Weather cooperated. Sun never came out and it didn’t warm up. We had a nice, cool headwind most of the run.
