#RailsToTrails

As a sort of tribute to my late Grandfather I've been ripping his CDs. I found a three disc set of The Essential Johnny Cash ('55-'83) and have been slowly listening to it.

I haven't yet come upon the few Cash songs I know. But I did discover Rock Island Line which is entertaining. We have a former Rock Island line running through our 'burb as a rails-to-trails conversion. Rock Island it's the road to ride.

1. Kiddo is becoming a very good driver
2. Fantastic long run while he attended the beginning high school graduation as a band member. I chose an unpaved part of the trail today. I wasn’t sure how this would go after the 5K race yesterday. Very happy with my effort 💜
3. Beautiful weather for graduation and my long run. I felt like I needed a couple more miles but my time ran out and needed to get kiddo from school.

A collage of nature photos featuring a pond, flowers, grass, and running trails. The central image displays stats from a run: distance of 6.39 miles (10.28 km), time of 1:21:51, and a pace of 12:49 per mile (7:58 per km).

It’s #5KRace season 🙂 I’m so pleased with my efforts today. I had hoped to pull off 12-12:30 minute miles after being laid up most of the winter. I need to schedule more 🏃🏻‍♀️

This run benefits a fantastic outpatient cancer center near our home. Without this facility, patients would have to travel between 60 and 90 minutes for treatment. This center provided care for my late husband in 2014 when he had Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Animal report:
Two beagles that I begged to pet before I started my watch.
One well behaved bully boxer whose boy assured me he was crazy even though I complimented how well-behaved the pup was.
Two families of Canadian Geese with their goslings. I went wide and they all ignored me completely.
Run report:
Fantastic!! Ran the route for Saturday’s 5K.

An evening running summary showing run was started May 13 at 18:51 with a distance of 4.02 miles(6.47 km) an average heart rate of 164 bpm, an average pace of 12:52 per mile (8:00/km), a total time of 51:46, and a calorie burn of 429. The background is black and gray with a genetic topographic map unrelated to the run and the running route outlined in white.

Really needed some mosquito repellent tonight (79°F/ °C) and in that same vein, I am out of shape for the heat! I love when the trillium are in bloom. They are so pretty.

Converted stats (because it too late at night to make others math)

10.14km distance with a pace of 8:42/km total time was 1hr 28m 12s. Strava maths different than Garmin. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sleep well 💤

A scenic view of white flowers (trillium) blooming among green leaves on a forest floor, with scattered dried leaves. The overlay indicates an evening run of 6.3 miles at a pace of 13:53 per mile, lasting 1 hour and 27 m (strava rounded my time from 1hr 28m 12s).

I’ve been a little remiss in posting runs. Last Tuesday, I was right behind a two vehicle crash while on my way to the trail. Thankfully, no one was hurt. I had so much adrenaline coursing, i was either going to burn out too fast or have a fantastic longer run. As you can see, I’m baaaack!!! I’m not super fast but I’m becoming more consistent. Love the new Topo Aura 👟 to battle the plantar fasciitis. Metric conversion in alt txt.

#HappyLittleTrees5K is a virtual run celebrating Bob Ross & raising money for state park trees in several states, including MI. Every year, a few more states join.

I kept a very steady pace so I pounded out 5 miles instead of 5K. I’m currently #Running on a different stretch of #RailsToTrails due to road construction making it nearly impossible to get to my default route. I saw new dogs, none of which wanted to talk with me. Photo stats for the same run.

Newburyport's Clipper City Rail Trail is now a complete circuit for the first time, thanks to the town, and a new bike path along Parker Road! https://www.trailspotting.com/2023/04/newburyport-rail-trails-ma.html

We've updated our map and article, and hope to check out the improvements for ourselves very soon.

I don’t usually run on Friday evening. At the end of the work week, I just want to relax but weather was gorgeous, sun peeking through the clouds. I had the trail to myself save a cardinal, squirrel, & 2 turkeys.

I’m struggling with consistency after too much time not #Running. Tonight, I set my #Garmin watch to alert on max fast and min slow paces so I would be more consistent from one mile to the next. I’m so pleased with my efforts tonight.

1. Both eye surgeries are complete. I’m healing well & released from any restrictions I care about.
2. Returned to work today & was asked if I wanted to join an informal #Running accountability group. We set a goal for the month and share our runs.
3. I went for a run on #RailsToTrails & my pace wasn’t horrible considering how much time I’ve had to rest. I changed the data screens on my #Garmin watch so I can actually read the screens while running.

Image shows a Garmin screen displaying topographic map with the route which is basically a diagonal line along with running stats for an evening run on April 8. Key data includes a distance of 4.08 miles (6.57 km), an average heart rate of 160 bpm, an average pace of 13:55 per mile (8 min 39 sec per km), total calories burned 433, and total time 56 min 47 sec

When I asked the doctor when I would be able to resume running and was told I would run this weekend, the tech looked incredulous that I would run in the rain.🌧️

My heart rate was crazy high so a lot of walk/run intervals to bring it down to acceptable to me levels (165 bpm avg).

I opted for a river run after dropping kiddo off at Robotics meet. I crossed paths with several other runners, two angry geese, and one indifferent🪿

Has anyone ever done any cycling around Rivière du Loup?

Our planned trip to Ontario will probably involve a stop there. If there's a good day cycle in that area we might stay an extra night.

And any suggestions for bike friendly hotels there would also be welcome. Or #airbnb ?

Ontario Bike Trail info please

We are planning a trip to Ontario (Uxbridge) next year to visit with a friend who lives there. We are planning on several biking days while we are there. The Rails to Trails is right there, but we don't know anything about it.

Does anyone know if there would be places to stay with safe overnight bike storage along the Uxbridge Kawartha trail? With outdoor eating facilities along the way?

Or is there a better route within reasonable driving distance?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I love biking and walking on "rails to trails" paths, but it seems to me a missed opportunity to have both rails *and* trails.

What if we ran small electric #trains alongside paths at low speeds and let children operate them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_railway

People too tired or disabled to walk would have an option to travel through the park, and getting the next generation excited about trains could help alleviate some of the issues we have staffing public transit.
