Yet another report is out that talks about the inactivity of today’s youth. The American Medical Association published a report about the how the inactivity of today’s children drops as they enter their teenage years. Here is the article in the NY Times.
Several weeks ago we had a shop ride that went on the B&A Trail and one of our new team members who has recently moved to the area commented on how the nice the trail was to ride on and now she is thinking about using for her run portion of triathlon training.
I guess I’ve taken it for granted that we have them, but from seeing the excitement of the team member it reminded me of how fortunate we are.
We are lucky that in the area there are so many great bike trails to enjoy togther as a family or individually as we train in pursuit of our dreams.
Locally many are aware of the WB&A trail that is just a few miles from the shop door. Over the winter Park and Recreation has opened another section of the trail and seem to be getting closer to linking the Anne Arundel County section of the trail to the Prince George’s County section of the trail.
If you are willing to drive take a short trip across the Bay Bridge to enjoy the Cross Island Trail on Kent Island. This trail quietly opened at the end of 2001 and is a great trail that many over look with the popularity of the B&A Trail and the BWI Trail.
I hope you and your family have a chance to get out and enjoy and explore the areas many trails!
