I met up with Cole Crosby who I know from my days in Oklahoma. He's become a pretty good mountain runner and snow shoe competitor the last couple of years. We met up at the Finger Lakes Running Company and headed out for a loop along Cayuga Lake. It was good catching up with him and hearing about some of his recent adventures in some other endurance events.

We somehow were able to keep the run relatively flat considering Ithaca is one of the hilliest places I know. The center of town is down in a valley but Cornell and Ithaca College are both up along the ridge lines. In the past I've spent the first half of the run flying downhill and then crawling back up at the end.
