Sunday Terry and I decided to drive over to Weatherford (about 20 minutes from us) and run on the 20 mile Rails to Trails trail that runs between Weatherford and Mineral Wells.
We hopped in the jeep (top down of course) and drove over.
Wow what a difference. After running on the asphalt every day it's so nice to have a good double track trail to run on. Great on the feet and knees and it is almost completely shaded by vegetation so it is at least 10 degrees cooler than the asphalt. If you live here you understand how important the shade is.
It's a bit remote and so it's quiet. We saw a few people toward the end, some running, some walking, and some cycling.
We also saw some bunnies, a turkey and her babies, some deer, dove and lots of other birds. What great scenery and so close to us.
Then we did our next favorite thing which is to go into the town and find a local place to eat a great breakfast. We found a great place that seems to be very popular, had a good breakfast and headed back home.
If you live anywhere near Weatherford or Mineral Wells this is a MUST DO for a runner, cyclist, walker, or equestrian.
