10 mile run in Elk Grove Forest Preserve

Raj and I ran 10 miles this morning on trails in the Elk Grove Forest Preserve.  It was a really nice trail and a good place to run.  Unfortunately, we got a late start because we were up all night with Maya, who has developed a horrible cold.  She kept coughing and couldn't sleep for more than 30 mins. at a time it seemed.  By the time we left it was already 70 degrees out, but thankfully it was overcast.  

The run was really hard for me.  I ran 7 hard two days ago, so maybe my legs were tired, but what I felt the most was that I was dehydrated.  It was much easier to run when it was cold in Kzoo last weekend.  I felt a lot better on that run than I did today.  I decided not to worry about time and just whatever it took to get the distance done.  Our splits were kind of slow, but we did it.

Splits: 9:48, 10:08, 10:09, 10:01, 10:01, 10:18, 10:11, 10:12, 10:18, 10:21.  Total time: 1:41:25.
