Day 32 - Newburgh Beacon Bridge 5 Mile Run

Day 32 - Newburgh-Beacon Bridge 5 Mile Run

October 12, 2008

Today was an awesome Autumn day, a great day for a run! I ran in the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge 5 Mile run. The course started in the historic Hudson Valley City of Newburgh and over the Hudson River on the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge to the historic Hudson Valley City of Beacon. The course was fun and the view from the bridge was amazing! You couldn't have asked for a better fall day! The leaves were out in full color and the air was crisp and cool, I had a pretty good time of 43 minutes and 38 seconds. In the pictures you will see the starting line in Newburgh, the finishes at Beacon, pictures of the Hudson River from Beacon Train Station. I also got a picture of the Clear Water and a replica of the sailing ship Half Moon. All-in -all it was a great day!

Day 31- Philadelphia Navy Day Regatta

Day 31: October 11, 2008 - Philadelphia Navy Day Regatta

Today we made our way to Philadelphia to watch Jill and the Villanova Women's Crew team compete in the Philadelphia Navy Day Regatta on the Schuykill River. It was a beautiful Autumn day, great for watching the crew races. Today's races were what they call "Chases", when one boat goes after another for time. The races were about 4,000 meter or ~ 2.4 miles, pretty long races for crew. Jill rowed in both a 4 man and 2 man boat race, they looked good from where we were sitting. It was a fun day in Philadelphia!

On day 24, Saturday October 4th, I ran 2.3 Miles. It was a beautiful fall day and I was again at York Lake near Barryville in Sullivan County. The air was clean and crisp, the leaves were beginning to turn colors, just a great day in the country to run!
