Antiquing and Wineries

I love antiquing.  Always have.  I don’t really have a “thing” I’m looking for.  I just enjoy browsing through time and hoping to come along a little something special. Even better is if the “little something special” item has a story.  While we enjoyed stopping at a couple really awesome places, probably the coolest find was an off-the-beaten-path winery.  We pulled into the lot, walked inside, and instantly knew this would be a great little place on a rainy afternoon.  B played on her iPad while Greg and I enjoyed a tasting of yummy ice wine, a port, and some light reds.  Cheers!

Trail Running Newbie

To spice things up a bit, I have signed up for a 10 mile trail run in New York at the Holiday Valley Ski Resort. I've tackled a 5k Xterra trail run before, but there's a big difference between 3 miles and 10 miles. The good news is that I'm physically able to do a 13.1 mile road race. Obviously, I will want to add a lot more hill work, lots of squats and switch my weekly long run to trail running. I'd like to get some feedback or advice from runners who switch it up every now and then with trail work. Definitely looking to this new challenge!
