Top Trail Picks, More Than Miles & Deep Work
Hey friends!
I’m deep in Cocodona livestream mode.🌵
Here’s a quick look at what’s on my radar this week in Pennsylvania’s parks and trails, plus one-person business insights to help power your next move.
🌳 Outdoors Spotlight
👉 Connected Wissahickon 6 Mile 6 Preserve Hike (May 10)
Happening this weekend! Join Wissahickon Trails for a free loop-hike connecting various preserved lands. Designed for experienced hikers, the 6-mile loop features varied terrain including grassy fields, wooded paths, paved sections, and some rocky surfaces. The hike begins and ends at Four Mills Barn in Ambler, and is expected to last 2.5 to 3 hours.
🥾 Visit PA’s Top Trail Picks for Hiking, Biking and Views
Visit PA's latest trail roundup highlights some of our state’s most scenic and iconic routes, from the rugged Thousand Steps on the Standing Stone Trail to the smooth flow of the Schuylkill River Trail that spans 75 miles in southeastern PA, this list offers something for every type of trail lover — including the 2025 Trail of the Year, the Path of the Flood Trail.
⚡ Trail & Ultra Buzz
👉 WIU Advocacy & Ultrarunning (May 17)
Lace up for a group trail run in the Wiss, followed by a discussion on the connection between advocacy, social justice, and ultrarunning — plus practical ways to get involved — and stick around after for Women In Ultrarunning’s first gear exchange. Bring your gently used gear and maybe leave with something new. It’s all about community, on and off the trail.
💡 Smart Move for Your Week
Every step forward counts, no matter how small it may seem. Celebrating small wins along the way helps build momentum and keeps you motivated, even during tough times. Whether it’s a completed project, a new client, or a simple personal milestone, taking a moment to acknowledge your progress fuels your drive for the bigger victories ahead.
💭 Parting Thought
Protect your creative energy. Not every idea needs immediate execution. Save your best ideas, set boundaries around distractions, and create space for deep work. The more you guard your focus, the more impactful your work will be.
That’s all for this one.
Make this week count — get outdoors, chase your goals, and stay focused. If you’ve got something great to share, I’d love to hear from you!
Onward and upward,
Laura
