great images.

[Finn666]

yap, some beautiful images right there Ben! how long are you in your feet during such a run?

[llvlaglne]

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

Man if you had actual hair and it was black, you would be a total guido!

[Megatron1505]

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 

[bagley920]

This is how I imagine you in a track suit, and with hair ofcourse

[Megatron1505]

I am slightly scared/ curious and flattered that you imagine me in a track suit.

[llvlaglne]

Specially half way zipped down joke joke joke

[toddjcoley]

[llvlaglne]

[Megatron1505]

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

I suppose that would match your liver.

It was the all blue that made me think of it
