Last Sunday I did what I've done on countless other Columbus Day weekends - I drove down to New Paltz to get out on the trails in Minnewaska. In years past, it was more a walk around the woods with the girls, but in recent years it's been all about running trails. Let me go … Continue reading Minnewaska trail run – 10/12/14
