Report

This was a nice training run, I started where the IPP intersects Cross St. in downtown Wheaton and ran east. I used water fountains for the first part and then picked up the water bottles I had dropped off on the GWT @ Schmale Rd. for the final long, dry section. I picked up a friend for the last 5.5mi and slowed my pace a bit to stay together. These paths are extremely popular for long training runs for the Chicago Marathon and other area marathons. Also, there is now a bridge over St. Charles Rd. and the railroad tracks in Lombard so the total distance will be slightly shorter and you will avoid any delays due to trains.
