"Every runner's greatest opponent is the wall--the wall of fatigue, that is. The goal of training is to push the wall of fatigue by increasing the maximum pace one can sustain from the start line to the finish line of a race. The goal of race execution is to actually run as fast as possible without hitting the wall before reaching the finish line. It's that simple." -------> Matt Fitzgerald <-------

I felt heavy and sluggish back on my "home track" this morning. I'm sure last night's late-arriving flight and my general dehydration were contributing factors.

I am here to report that there's a whole different vibe along the Lakefront Trail in the evening. Runners, bikers, skaters, volleyball, frisbee, etc.
Also, I have to report an oddity: it was warmer in Chicago than Houston when I ran today: 90F versus 82F

Probably pushed this one slightly more than necessary for an easy run (and working my way back from injuries). But I was feeling good on this humid morning.
