Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mar 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 First 5K and More... 
I can’t say I really hike, but I do enjoy getting out in nature. This year we’re definitely limited by Chester, although at least he’s enjoying the cooler weather.
I’m surprised you didn’t get the Pumpkin Oreos. Why can’t they sell them in single packs instead of an entire bag? Because I’d eat the whole bag. Well, not really, but I would definitely eat way more than I should.

Good idea. I just wanted to try one. I did get pumpkin donuts and have only eaten 2 so far. I hope my hubby finihes them
