Little did I know that my new goal of biking on Grants Trail everyday would be so much fun. And hard work. But that is what getting fit means, lots of hard, consistent work that eventually (?) pays off.
After my first two weeks I feel great. I even found out about Governor Nixon's challenge to Missourians to log 100 miles of outdoor activities on our trails and in our parks by the end of 2013. You can find out more about it at: https://100missourimiles.com/
I just signed up and logged my miles. But back to the title. Yesterday the weirdest animal I have ever seen showed up on the trail. I think it was a turtle that had a long dinosaur-like tail, really long legs and a huge head. Its lets were so long, it actually stood up and ran across the trail back into the woods where several onlookers were trying to get him to go.
So come on out to Grant's Trail. Its a great place to get healthy, log your miles with Governor Nixon, and see some ancient wildlife!
