I live in Western, NY which is heavily forested wilderness with mountain dirt trails that go for miles. I may be moving to Atlantic, Iowa. I've been there a few times now. I have lived in Western,NY for 54 yrs and would miss the beautiful scenery here.
@WalkingwithWendy 5 күн бұрын
@@EKEACRES well, people don’t move to Iowa for the scenery lol. But, it’s where I live and there are a lot of benefits to living in Iowa so I just enjoy the scenery I have. Atlantic is a really beautiful small town with some rolling hills and you could drive to West Des Moines for all of the amenities in about an hour. and, you can always travel. But anyway, welcome!

That was good. I like your suggestion of walking a marathon before running one. I ran and finished 2 marathons, both Grandma's marathon in Duluth, MN. That was over 20 years ago, I might try to walk one.
@WalkingwithWendy 6 күн бұрын
It was so fun! I highly recommend you do that! I don't know Grandma's cut-off time so just make sure that the marathon allows for 7 hours just in case. :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

Why would they put concrete on it?
@WalkingwithWendy 6 күн бұрын
The trails are either made of concrete or asphalt. Asphalt breaks up a lot easier than concrete, I guess. That’s what I read anyway. So they re-paved the bridge in Adel with concrete instead of using asphalt and are thinking of doing that more in the future. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching! 😊
@timnewman1172 Күн бұрын
Much easier to maintain, the asphalt was always crumbling & needing repair...
