Here is something I have recently started to become more interested in: trail running. I like running both for the health benefits and I find it relaxing. Wood trails beat concrete, I say, because the scenery is more interesting and the ground is easier on your joints. It's neat when you can see wildlife, though they probably get scared off quickly.
This is a link for an upcoming race of various lengths in Wilderness Park. It is planned for March 17. Sponsors like Cycle Works are featured.
I've gone running at Wilderness Park before, just on my own, and though you have to be more careful about roots and ditches (I totally tripped and found myself sprawled in the dirt) I had a good run.

Great park for some native Nebraska scenery/wildlife. Just a forewarning, watch for bikers on the trail! I myself prefer taking the trail by foot, you have the opportunity to take in a lot more.
