Missed a turn off Lake Cook this morning and ended up running farther than I intended to. Estimated distance 5.7 miles, in 1:02:16. Very hard work most of the way, but possibly a lifetime record for total running time. Plenty of opportunity to improve the pace.
Quick update – I ran the GPS over the new route tonight (amazing technology – what a world we live in!) and it was 6 miles on the button. Makes me feel better about my time and pretty impressed that I am now running that far. Hopefully I can keep it up and improve on the time.
