I am especially happy that "Increasing Physical Activity" is one of her major goals in the battle against childhood obesity. But those of you who follow my blog, Twitter posts, and trails website know what I'm going to suggest.
Within First Lady Obama's "Increasing Physical Activity" section, I hope she adds a goal for increasing access to American Trails. I especially appreciate the goal of Rails to Trails Conservancy: "to have 90 percent of Americans live within three miles of a trail..."
I encourage Ms. Obama to add this goal to her plan. And I encourage you to encourage her. In fact, I would like to suggest that Michelle Obama and the Obama administration partner w/ the Rails to Trails Conservancy in the hopes of increasing and improving our trail network in America.
