Last Friday was pretty busy, and I'm now just getting to posting this.
Was looking for a new place to run, and I came across the Pennsy Trail in Greenfield, Indiana. The trail is actually pretty long, and similar to the Nickel Plate trail and the Monon, it extends from Hancock County into Marion County. I had planned Friday to be a long run day, so I decided to start my run at the Trailhead located on CR S 150 W and run eastward until I made it to Downtown Greenfield.
Despite the Sun trying to zap the life from me, I really enjoyed this run. The Trail was pretty scenic, there were water stations and seating along the route, and the other people on the trail were pretty friendly. Also, there was a portahohn at the Trail head, and it was probably the 2nd cleanest one I've ever used.
Apparently, Kakuda Japan is Greenfield's Sister city, and seeing the Japanese influence along the route was very cool, and it really kept me engaged in the trail.
Also, Downtown Greenfield is pretty nice. I think there is a distillery, beer garden, and amphitheater, and of course, lots of art pieces. Will definitely be making another trip there, both to run the rest of the trail and to just explore Downtown Greenfield more.
