I decided to go for a run out in the boonies. I was visiting a friend up in farm country and he told me of a trail not too far away from his house. So I took my camera, laced up my running shoes, and hit the road.
The houses look really nice though. It’s a quiet neighbourhood and I quite enjoyed my run down the streets.
I can see the farmer’s fields just ahead of this curve.
I’ve never really ran through farm country before, It was nice to see the crops in nice, neat rows.
I’m a city boy through and through so I’m not too familiar with farming. I think this might be corn but I’m not sure.
I zoomed past the train tracks. It’s strange seeing these without the barrier arms as well. The trail is still a kilometer or so ahead.
There is the unassuming entrance to the trails. It’s a good thing my friend described where it was to me in such detail or I might have run right by it.
I so love trail running. It is so much better than running on the street.
I even saw a deer jumping through the bush at one point. Unfortunately he was too quick for me and disappeared into the bush before I could snap a picture.
Well, that’s about it. The trails then opened up back to a different road that I was able to loop around for a nice 5 kilometer run.
I completed this course in just over 20 minutes. It was a very nice run that I will have to do again. Now, if only I could get my friend to join me. Wouldn’t that be great? If I lived here, I’d be running this trail every day. Well, he doesn’t know what he’s missing.

Hi Chase,
I enjoyed your visual running tour. That looks to be beautiful country. And the trail, it's gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing your run.
Hi Barbara,
I'm glad you enjoy this series of mine. It's actually kind of fun running with a camera for a change. Hopefully I will discover some new routes this summer to share with you here. Stay tuned.

Hi Hilary,
It might not be corn. I still don't know much about farming.
I do love finding new places to run though and will be sharing a new photo tour with you all soon.
