Race Recap | 2018 The Champion of Trees 10K
The last time I ran this race it was 2015 and it was still called the Arbor Day 10K. This is another race where I took a couple years off. That’s because I had been committed to the Rockdale Ramblin’ Run 10K until it was discontinued last year. I was really surprised to see it had been so long since I’d run this race since I come to the Morton Arboretum almost every year to run the Fall Color 5K, so it seems there’s nearly never a year that goes by where I don’t make it out to the arboretum for an event. It’s a beautiful location. Continue reading

Beat the Heat
Summer is both welcomed and feared in my world. I love the longer daylight hours and being able to wear minimal clothing, but I dread the heat. Living in the Midwest, it doesn’t help that it’s also humid. I know there’s a scientific explanation for this, but I’ll never be able to wrap my head around being simultaneously warm and wet.
There are still tons of activities you can do in the winter, and spring and fall are ideal for outdoor running, in my opinion (minus more frequent downpours). But there’s just something about the bone dry surfaces and the sun shining down that makes working out in the summer not seem like such a chore. With that being said, going out in high temps can be a daunting task. However, there are ways you can prepare yourself to beat the heat. Here are a few of my tips for keeping cool while working up a sweat.
