It was a very lovely day and the outdoors are always good for the soul, so I thought I'd share a bit of my adventure to encourage you in case you've got the winter doldrums from being cooped up inside.
In the midst of suburban central New Jersey, I'm blessed to live not far from the estates of Doris Duke, where nearly 1000 acres of land are preserved and cultivated as a model for environmental stewardship. Open to the public for free, and a mere 3 miles from my house, Duke Farms is one of my favorite local outdoor hangouts. With 18 miles of trails, I visited often in the summertime for a change of pace on my running schedule, but I thought it might be worth seeing what it looks like in winter too.
