Best Buy Vernon Hills Training Run

Last night was the first in a series of training runs to get new runners ready for the Fort2Base race in Highland Park on September 11th. Kathy came over with me to help take pictures for the Best Buy Ambassador program. It was a small group of runners, but we took off at 6:45 and headed for the DesPlaines River Trail to walk-run for 30-minutes. The evening was hot, but that didn't deter everyone from having a very pleasant run with some great conversation. Our group ended up going about 3 miles. We exchanged some celebratory high fives at the end of the run and cooled off with some Gatorade and Balance Bars. I'm looking forward to the next run in Schaumburg in a couple of weeks.
