Running in the mountains

We on camping in northern New York State this week and have gotten in two runs! The first was on a beautiful warm, sunny day about a mile and a half down the road to Whiteface Mountain-- that is where the downhill skiing took place in the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Haha I know, many of you younger folks weren't even alive in 1980!! My husband ran UP trails to the halfway point of the ski hill and I walked. Phew- it wasn't easy! We walked down and ran back to the camp ground! A great workout and was I sore the next day!! Here are pics!
