Great run this morning, as it was a “cut back” week (12 miles) for those training for Chicago, and the last big run for those training for the Quad Cities marathon next month. Pleasant breeze, not too hot or humid, a little overcast, some cranes hanging out at the start, sunflowers blooming… perfect 👌

Others joined for a 4-mile walk around Lake Zurich, with a quick pit stop at Stompin’ Grounds Cafe for coffees to go 😉

Just $35 to join for the year and reach your goals, enjoy the outdoors, and hang with some fun people!

Whoopsie-daisy 🤪 The medal still looks sharp, and to be fair, there’s not much difference in the outward appearance between the Allianz Arena in Munich and the Allianz Stadium in Syndey. They both sort of look like doughnuts 😅

The error went unnoticed until Sydney Marathon organisers shared a sneak peek of the medal on social media.

Something to keep an eye on…

“He called his shot—and did it!

On Saturday, July 18, [Scottish] Josh Kerr of Great Britain ran 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League to break Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27-year-old world record in the mile.

Kerr, 28, took nearly half a second off El Guerrouj’s record of 3:43.13 from 1999, which was one of the longest-standing world records in track.” -Runners World 🙌💪👊

Big runs for fall marathons are coming up. Life can get busy, but now is the key time to really be consistent with your training. It will be worth it… right?
