Someday, I'm going to tell my grandchildren about the trail runs I used to run. But, I can guarantee I'm not going to tell them that I liked them.
I ran the Cactus Classic 10K Trail Run today in Sand Ridge State Forest, outside of Manito in Mason County. This was the third trail run I've done. For an experienced trail runner, it probably would have qualified as moderately difficult at best, but for me it was hard. It turns out there is sand in central Illinois and apparently it is all located at Sand Ridge Forest.
