Description:

Very large, dark brown spider (about 2" long with legs). Found in garage at night. Not in a web.
Visibly hairy/furry
Runs very fast

The coin in the picture is a quarter, for scale. It's laying on a broom handle. This is a BIG spider for Northern Illinois!
Any ideas what it is?
Thanks
