Notes For my fellow Chicagoans, I hear you complaining about the hot temperatures and humidity. I felt it too. Hmmm, I wonder what it's like in my old hometown of Houston today ...?

Relaced my shoes the "REI way" for high arches. They felt like slippers that would fall off but once I started running, I didn't notice a bit. I'll leave them this way for awhile. It often feels like my shoes are putting too much pressure on the tops of my feet. Maybe this is a remedy.

Summary

Name Lakefront 4
Location Chicago, IL

Notes Felt pretty good this morning. Beautiful sunrise on the lake and an ever-so-slight hint of coolness in the air. Focused on running "smooth" over the last half. Pace didn't matter; just glide and run efficiently and easy.

Yesterday's resurfacing effort yielded fresh blacktop over the top .4 mile of the trail. Since I saw no equipment this morning, I'm assuming that wraps up their work.

Forced to take a slight detour at the end of the trail this morning. It looks like a resurfacing project is getting started. I'll be curious to gauge their progress over tomorrow's four-miler.

Notes Nice morning in Chicagoland. Even nicer is that I'm convincing myself that I can "feel" incremental improvement as a stick with my plan. Placebo effect ...? Maybe but I'll take it at this point.
