Hit the trails...its Trail Trekker Tuesday. Whether you walk or run, heres what our jogger blogger has to recommend: For this weeks trail run I hit Pleasant Valley. It was my most difficult run so far but the most rewarding. Pleasant Valley has several looped trails that combine for 4.5 miles. If you accidentally run the horse trail like I did you can tack on an extra two miles, but I don’t recommend it. The climb up the hills on some of the loops will be more than enough to give you the workout you seek. As I ran through the prairie I was accompanied by monarch butterflies, red winged black birds, and a hungry red-tailed hawk. The chorus frogs and one lonely bullfrog were playing “call and response” as I passed the pond heading uphill into one of the many oak groves. This trail offers woodlands, prairie and wetland, with enough trail to test any runner. This site is definitely worth checking out but bring trail running shoes for the terrain. ~ J ~
