Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup. Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!) They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!
This week, the theme is My Five Favorite Fall Activities
I love fall especially living in the Northeast.
So here they are my five:
1. Running
I love running when the temps are cool and the leaves have turned colors. These are some of my favorite places to run…

the rail trail

in Washington Park

along the Schroon River

on the bike trails

along Lake George
2. Eating & drinking anything pumpkin
Yup, I love pumpkin everything…



No, I didn’t buy them but I was tempted
3. Racing
Racing in the cooler temps is the best! Even better is a race in a scenic locale…here are just a few that I have signed up for…

Apple Run 5K


Great Pumpkin Challenge 10k

Stockade-athon 15K
4. Going to farm activities
There are several around here but Ellms Family farm is my favorite. I always take my mentee and her sons. We go on rides, do corn mazes, pick pumpkins, pet the animals, eat cider donuts…so much fun!





5. Hiking
I don’t hike a lot but I do enjoy it and plan to do more this year. These are some places that I go…

Thatcher Park

Five Rivers

Prospect Mountain

Peebles State Park
I haven’t done this hike in Lake George in a few years…hope to do it again.

Happy Running! What are your favorite fall activities?


My fall favs are much like yours. I love running in the fall, leaf peeping, visiting the farmers markets and generally being outside. It’s finally tolerable. Love your fall colors.
