Good morning friends!!!
I say good morning because as I write this it is seconds after 8AM and I am sitting at a picnic table at a KOA campground at Whiteface Mountain / Lake Placid. I'm typing this in to edit pad, as although the KOA advertises they have wifi access throughout the park, I'm not going to risk it, so this may be posted on time (August 5, 2007), or a little later.
I just had one of the most amazing runs I think I have ever had in the history of me running. Our campsite is a mile down the road from Whiteface Mountain, so I decided to check it out. I walked from the KOA to the main hwy (86 I think), then ran the mile down the hwy to Whiteface Mt. ski area...then ran up the road, as far as the road would take me, which I'm thinking is still not quite half way up, and when I got there I just had to stop and look around me at the absolute beauty that is this natural wonder...IT WAS FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! I going to be completely honest here with you...as I was taking my time walking around the ski trails, taking in the breathtaking site, I felt a single tear rolling down the side of my face...I know it sounds extremely cheddar, and I'm probably going to get teased a little by a few of you jerk faces, but it was incredible. Of course I experienced the entire thing solo, as my fellow campers were still sawing logs when I hit the road...even those who said "Kick my tent before you go...I wanna come to." What a bunch of BSers ;-) ... oh well, there loss.
Here's the deets for the run including warmup and cooldown...

Shed a tear like a little bitch
Oh, I almost forgot, I have decided that I will ride the Gondola up Whiteface with my friends...for those of you who don't know, I'm extremely petrified of heights...EXTREMELY!!! So this will definately be interesting, but I'm assuming after my experience today will be well worth the view from the top. I just wish Amy was here to hold my hand. I'll let you know if I shit my pants or not...actually I'll probably keep that one to myself.
Cheers!
Will
