Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Thought I would feel some instinctive connection to this place bc my family claims some tenuous relation to Ethan Allen of Green Mountain Boy fame. But felt a little more like a visitor to some weird dewey verdant planet. Did a lap of the hotel property, then ran alongside the highway until i found a gravel path to run down ("country club road," but much more country than club, despite proximity to midd.) Got a lot of weird looks from farmers, but I was early enough to see the mist still burning off the adirondacks, completely beautiful. Country roads was stuck in my head the whole time, pretty far from west va but the sleepy farmhouses/hazy sunrise combo gives the same nostalgic effect. Ran until I got to the country club in question and back, definitely at least four miles bc it took me quite a while. Felt a lot better than I have for the past few days and got some great scenery out of the bargain, all in all a pretty great run.

Also touring Williams yesterday I met an xc runner (Greg?) who knew not only Griffin but also Zeke and Liam, hoppers represent
