The Monon Trail is an old train track, which was developed into a running and bike path, running from downtown Indianapolis to Carmel.

I ran 3 miles today. All I can say is wow! What an amazing portion of the trail I saw. If my sister reads this, she will know what I am talking about it. When I was young, we had a cottage along Lake Michigan on the Michigan side. To get to our cottage, there was a long winding road in the woods. The trail today reminded me of going through that road. Oh there weren't the hills of that road, but the woods were so nice and so peaceful.
The trail is used by thousands of people each day, but even with the people on the trail this afternoon, I felt peaceful sense out there. I had a sense of trail running, even though I was on a paved "road".
I am going to love running on this trail, and getting to know the ins and outs of it.

Charlie - you are right about the Monon. Nice trail through Indy. I have a couple of brothers who live in Carmel and my wife and I run it when we are visiting. A bit too much asphalt but still a nice plan to run.
