Plus I hate running in Chicago maybe I should hit up BA to find me some trails.
i'm downstate, so i would be relying on "clicking around" to find things which is no more efficient that you clicking around when you actually know where you're going and what you like. the only trail i have direct knowledge of in chicagoland is, of course, the des plaines river trail which is pretty nice. but, if you want to drive south for 2 1/2 or 3 hours, i'd be happy to go on a run with you.
