10 mile long run for me yesterday. I'm in upstate NY visiting family, so I ran a route suggested by my older sister. 10 mile out and back on Hurley Mountain Rd in Hurley. Very low traffic road, fairly flat, and rural. I grew up very close to here. As I was trotting along, I got to thinking that there's something about the landscape (color of the dirt, shape of the trees, and I don't even know what all) that would cause me to recognize the road as being in upstate NY. Really, there's nothing remarkable about the landscape, but there's just *something* that makes me recognize this as a distinct. Maybe it's the color of the light. I don't know...

Anyway, I was a very pleasant run. My Dad is under orders to walk 3-5 miles a day, so he walked while I ran and we both felt geat when we were done!
