Chicago Lakefront Trail

Andy and I on the Lake front trail for our 16mi long run. I was fine for the first 12mi sticking with my goal pace of just under 9:00, when I fell apart, struggled and started to walk a bit and run and just had to walk the last 1 1/4 miles. My worst training run ever. In retrospect it was most likely due to not eating right(or hardly eating or drinking) the day before due to a family emergency. I need to get back into the groove for my back to back half marathons over the next two weekends in Juneau and Tacoma. At least the temps will be a lot cooler, so hopefully all of the running in the heat will pay off.
