WEDNESDAY EVENING TRAIL RUNNING

NEW FALL TIME 6PM

Fall is a great time of year to begin an outdoor fitness routine.

Really anytime is good to get started, but the cooler temperatures make it more fun.

Join us Wednesdays for a trail run on the farms Wild Fitness Trail.

Our trail is approximately a mile long and is suitable for all fitness levels.

I am a “two-looper” myself.

 It loops around the farm along the stream, past our pond and back along the edge of our production fields. 

Trail runs start at 6pm.

Walkers are welcome.

Sneakers or closed toed shoes are recommended.

No dogs or unsupervised children but check back for future dog walks and/or children’s fitness activities.

Join Us for Our Fitness Walks.

Wednesdays at 5:30pm starting May 18^th 2016.

Once a year spring peepers make their journey from their winter homes, frozen under the forest floor, to spring mating grounds.  Vernal pools, ponds, to whichever body of water they were born into, they shall return, to continue the cycle.  But the conditions have to be just right for these tiniest of amphibians.  Rainy, above freezing and after the sun has gone down and darkness fully sets in.

This migration tends to happen unnoticed, but what most people do notice is the amazing chorus of “peeps” we hear in the evenings.  It seems like the peepers are coaxing along those first signs of spring.  As that first crescendo floats through the air, the peach buds swell, the chickweed, nettles, and dandelions turn a vibrant green, magnolias, daffodils and blooms of every color open and there is the chatter of birds and insects checking in after a long winter.  All the while spears of asparagus lie just millimeters below the soil surface, hearing the symphony above, knowing their turn is so near.  Do they nudge one another? “You go first….no you” or do they just give in to the “greensong” and absorb into the magic dance of the ages…the arrival of spring.

Sprouting, hatching, budding, mating, waking – so alive!  You know we humans are part of this all too right?  We only need to remember, to recognize that song and dance that is part of our very souls.  Spend time listening, watching, just being in the natural world.  This alone, many believe, can boost your immune system.

Imagine experiencing a feeling of rightness about yourself and your place in the flow of life.  “We are all part of this universal creative energy” -Sandor Katz.
