[Today’s run: 5 miles]
The place where I grew up has changed quite a bit since I left 18 years ago. One of the nice new features is a network of bike/jogging trails. Some of them are old railroads and some are just built from scratch.
I remember when I was a kid doing a fund raiser bike ride to raise money for bike trails. They had us go around to all our friends and relatives and sign them up for so much per mile, usually 25 cents or a dollar. A local TV celebrity, Bill Riley was big on the bike trails thing. Now, 40+ years later, there are lots of trails.
This morning we ran down to the bike trail, up the trail to 56th street and then back to the house for a 5 mile loop.
