On the Turkey Trail

Birthdays and holidays always send me to the woods.  It’s been a personal tradition to run on my birthdays and New Year’s Day.  Yes, I generally run on most other days too, but it’s especially affirming to not take a “day off” when the day is marking a significant event.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about family and friends though, so even better than a solo run, is a family hike through a favorite park on Thanksgiving Day.

It’s no surprise that my kids and I ended up at Highbanks Metro Park.  Hannah and I run its trails frequently. The leaves are all on the ground now, revealing the topography of land once chosen by the ancient Adena Indians.

    Run, and keep running.

    I hike at least once a week, jog twice in the evening every week.

    It is so good to be able to move around.

  2. Sounds nice. I’m not way into running, but I do it to keep in shape. But hiking in the woods is great.

    Have a good week.

  3. Rainfield: Gotta run and gotta hike. Good health is a blessing we cannot waste.
     
    ONE of THE GUYS: Hiking is probably more enjoyable for most people. I don’t pretend to understand why I love running so much!

  4. Very extraordinary site.
    The info here is very valuable.

    I will invite my friends.

    Cheers
