Last day of our Chicago visit, I took a drive out to Mallard Lake and Hawk Hollow for a run before we ended the day visiting with JC.

This was my favorite spot of the three I ran at this week.  A nice wide sand/gravel path through a forest preserve, on the plains.  I ran 7.7-miles at over 6 mph pace, including a few small hills.  On the way back I was following the largest coyote I have ever seen for about a quarter-mile, before I growled a little to get it off the trail.
