Was already feeling rising heat and humidity before clocking in at the Sauganash trailhead marker. Laced up Brooks Hyperion Tempos and tried to stay in the canopy shade as much of the run as I could. Went out too fast and really felt the pavement heating up after the turnaround. Toughest part = safely navigating (then getting back to pace) after repeated road crossings… no close calls but good reminder to be extra careful out there.
Chicago has lots of hidden gems — this is a fun one for runners seeking an urban rails-to-trails adventure with lots of foliage and friendly folks.
