The Call of the Wild

Getting tired of your gym yet? The same roads put you to sleep on your runs? Try a trail. Trail running, or even hiking, adds new elements to your exercise and stimulates your mind by offering you something else to look at. I live in Indiana. Let's face it. Kansas has more hills then Indiana. As a matter I've been to 36 states. Only 2 of them are flatter then Indiana. In my hometown, you can stand 5 miles from town and see it. The only reason you could not see farther is because of the trees.

Trails offer you something different. Depending on where you live, trails can offer you:
  • Plains
  • Deserts
  • Mountains
  • Rivers
  • Oceans
  • Forests
  • Glaciers
None of which your gym can offer you. Try it some time when you need some rejuvenation in your workout.
