Heading into IL

Well, we decided to split up the last 12 legs instead of running 2 each back to back, and it's proving to be a mental and physical success. It's easier to push through knees that ache and increasingly hot weather when your mileage is shorter. Great to see Jennifer and Joe Brydges at exchange 27, we certainly appreciate them and all the volunteers who do crazy hours to make this thing run smoothly.
I've got one more leg of 5.1 heading into Lake Forest staring in about 2 hrs, then it's on to the finish line in Lincoln Park!
Here's Jesse handing off to Kevin at exchange 27.
