It’s Friday so I’m linking up with Running on Happy & Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five 2.0 linkup! Join in! Don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other bloggers.
My topic today is: Five Loving/Not Livings
1.Cooler temps
There were a few days when I was actually chilly when running. I still wore a tank because I am stubborn like that but quickly added a jacket when I was done.
2. Running in different locations away from home.
I may not love my job but what I do enjoy about it is getting to see different places and running new routes away from home.
Roosevelt Island, NYC
along the beach of Lake Ontario in Rochester, NY
3. My 32nd Half Marathon is almost here.
My last half marathon was in the rain in May. It seems like forever ago. But finally next weekend I will be in Montreal. It’s my first Rock n Blogger event. And my first International Race.
I will be sharing the experience with 5 friends. Can’t wait!
Sherry and Christina behind her are two of my friends who are running it with me.
4.I am going to France!
I am beyond excited about this.
I haven’t been there since 2000 and as a former French teacher I used to go often. Of course, I wasn’t a runner then so now my trip will include a race.

5.Hiking
I was recently lamenting that the summer was almost over and I had not gone on a single hike.
But then I convinced a friend to go hiking with me.
Stewart Mountain in Chestertown, NY (overlooking Loon Lake)
And I begged my hubby to do the same.
Pinnacle Pt in Bolton Landing, NY (overlooking Lake George)
1. The days are getting shorter.
2.I have a cold!
Achoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
3.I have insomnia.
Just one of those weeks….no sleep!!!!!!!!
4.I have been skipping some of my favorite 5ks.
Having FOMO from all those IG and FB posts of the races that I usually run.
This race supports Ovarian cancer. My friend in the pic recently died form this disease.
5.I need a manicure!
No time!!! Maybe this weekend.
Happy Running! What are you Loving or Not Loving right now?
Disclaimer: I received a free entry to the Rock ‘N Roll Montreal 5k and Half Marathon as part of being a Rock n Blogger.
My First 5K and More... 
Feel better! Feel you on the mani – though I actually want a pedi

I didn’t know you taught French! I minored in French and wish I had the need to use it more. 😉

I didn’t know you studied French. I wish I had the chance to use it now. Haven’t taught in years.

Girl I need a manicure too and it is pretty cool all the places you get to run. Im loving getting back in a routine. I am hating getting back into a routine.

Last week was my sleep deprived week but it was all about the hot bedroom. I never really consider Canada to be international, even though I know technically it is. But France certainly is! Montreal has some great bagel places, btw.
I actually started to write up my RnR Montreal post a long time ago but obviously I never finished it.
I am loving that Lola is no longer honking. She’s not completely normal, but at least we can all sleep again.

Glad Lola is on the mend.

I do love how you get to run in new places often! I had no idea you use to be a French teacher. What is your job now?
So sorry about your friend.
Thanks for linking up with us. Cant wait to hear about Montreal.

I hope that you feel better soon. Getting a manicure might be some of that self care medicine that you need to help you get over the cold. 😉
