Grab a Camera and a GPS Receiver...and Go!

This idea started as a way for me to get a 5K run in every day without getting completely bored doing it. I have a notoriously short attention span, so doing any sort of daily exercise always was a challenge for me. I found that the key to not bailing on running was to do a new route every day and making the route as random, and unplanned, as possible. Basically I took a handheld GPS receiver, parked my car and started running. Pretty soon I added a camera to my other hand and made these daily adventures a way to get to know the neighborhoods and terrain around Rochester....sometimes bumping into something interesting or historic. I'll post the highlights here as I go...
