Day 27 (Mt. Greylock) - RunnerSpace.com/Travels Season 1

Following a light nap, we ventured early in the morning to Mt. Greylock state park so Calvin could run the 2nd annual Moby Dick 7-mile snowshoe race. With the odds stacked against him—winds threatened to knock over the trees and I don't think Calvin had been on snowshoes before—he pulled off a solid 1:27:53, earning 16th place out of 60. It's pretty interesting to compare this event to your average fun run. While some courses requires runners to share the road with cars, Calvin had to contend with snowmobiles; The average race rewards racers will Gatorade and bagels, Moby Dick had potato soup and hot chocolate.

We're off for the Big Apple again for the better part of the week before heading to Notre Dame.

Thanks to our hosts while we were in the area: Matt Karlin and Sean Klaiber. You dudes rock!
