Preseason update: Chillin' at Minnewaska

On Friday, we took our annual preseason trip to run at Minnewaska. Our most common memories of Minnewaska are sunny and warm morning runs, followed by a refreshing dip in the glacial lake. We refer to it as the “natural ice bath.” This year, there was no sun and there was no warmth. In other words, it was quite possibly perfect running conditions. It was drizzly and cool.

And, there was no refreshing dip in the lake, because the damp and cool morning was refreshing enough. Even if it were nice lake weather, there were warning signs of leeches (leeches!) in the lake. Yikes. No thanks. We can ice bath back in Poughkeepsie.
