                      Thanks guys! I'm usually out for a good 2-3hours. There are a few factors that'll effect the finishing time though…. The elevation, terrain and weather conditions.

                      Elevation. You might have to suck in some air.... But the summits are worth it.

                      Terrain. I try to run most of it but in certain areas you'll have to chug the whole way up with hands on your knees or scramble a weeee bit. Trails in NY can vary, whether it be rocky, super super smooth.... But sometimes I might have to cross a "stream" cause the bridge is out. That's where footwear comes into play. I prefer trail runners that drain water fast. Ie new balance minimus line or the new ones I acquired, la sportiva anakondas

                      Weather. Sunny days can be great.... But it'll effect how frequently you'd have to rehydrate and eat. Winter time is my all time favorite however. Soft snow and slush will require you to expend more energy trying to get through the area but super smooth  packed snow is by far the easiest to travel through. A combination of snow packed trails and micro spikes, you'll be coasting! Plus when there is snow and you need to refill your water bottles.... Just scoop up some snow inside and you'd be good to go! 😉

                      stay tuned.... planning a trip up to Mohonk/Minnewaska

                            I have no idea what that means Bags, when you're talking to me you need to pretend that I'm from a different country/ planet  😉

                                        Thank you, I feel much fitter. Although today I feel like I have the legs of a 90 year old.
