Runner's World article

I have been meaning to post this for a while: In the October issue of Runner's World, starting on Page 102, there is an excellent article entitled "Where the Sidewalk Ends, A city runner heads to the woods in search of a new route to happiness" by Josh Dean, about trail running.

The author discusses running in the Shawangunks (The Gunks) quite a bit. We LOVE The Gunks! Wish we could get there more frequently, but preseason runs at Minnewaska are always a highlight.

Anyway, in the article, the author references two Marist Running alums -- Justin Harris and Geoff Decker. Here is a brief excerpt from the bottom of Page 103:

"My trail-running adventure began to resemble a game of telephone. (Geoff) Decker contacted Justin Harris, an old buddy who ran cross-country with him at Marist College. Harris was now living in New Paltz, a quaint hippie town about an hour north of New York City."

Good stuff! There is excellent information, writing and photos in this article. Check it out.
