Today we did the large loop on the Ironton Rail Trail (IRT). It's a great trail and we've walked it several times.We left Bonnie's at 7 am and it was not hot, but it was humid. Right now it's 77 at 75% humidity. Ick.
The Boy Scouts have been busy making all kinds of improvements for the Eagle projects. How do I know? They leave signs by their improvements! (The RR X-ing sign that Bonnie is standing in front of is one of them.)
My favorite improvement is the mural that covers an old cement support.Not sure if that is done or not, but there is no sign.Another favorite was done by a trail side neighbor. They decorated the back of the shed, and added a ticket taker.
When we arrived, I turned down the wrong street so instead of parking in the lot we parked in a neighborhood. Since we are training for the half-marathon we tried to do it at almost race speed. We succeeded. That loop is just over 5.5 miles and we were done in just over 1-1/2 hours.
Now I just need to get my butt out there and do it again tomorrow!
