Sunday was an absolutely perfect Pennsylvania fall day. The sun was shining, it was a little windy, and the trees were extremely colorful!
I decided I'd be doing a disservice to myself if I didn't run somewhere other than my neighborhood! I parked at Lower Allen Park (less than 10 minutes away) and went for a beautiful run along the Yellow Breeches Creek.
For local folks, here was my run:
McCormick, right on Arcona, left on Lisburn, right on Klinedinst, left on Hertzler, left on Mt. Allen, right on McCormick, left on McCormick.
If you live in the area, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ROUTE!
Can you imagine anything more perfect!?
I saw two deer! (Not pictured.)
Check out one of the coolest yards on McCormick road!

I broke my running glasses, that is why I have my "fashionable" ones on.
What is fall like in your neck of the woods?
Tell me about one of your most gorgeous running routes!
What a weekend! It is officially fall here in Central PA! I think I'm going to need a day or two to recover from the fun I had! Here's what we were up to...
I was excited to start my day! I went for a 5 miler and then headed to work.
Work wasn't bad, it's just my room as been so hot all week. I have come home every afternoon soaking wet with sweat!
Not happy with my room temp!!!
Oh, there was some drama. After our afternoon fire drill, I was walking my class of second graders back to my room. As I was unlocking my door, a little girl started to scream. There was a wasp on her back! I shooed it off her but that angered it, and it started flying all around the children. The kids were freaking out, I was freaking out, and everyone was screaming as I was trying to kill the wasp by smashing it with my coat. Finally, it landed on the floor and one of the boys stepped on it. We cheered! That evening, we headed over to Randy and Michael's for their annual Halloween party!
Randy as Barb from Stranger Things and Michael as Bob from Bob's Burgers.
Paul came as a NERD.
Me as Nicole from Big Brother.
Michael's sister came as Iggy Stardust.
Here are the obligatory photos of their baby, Brienne of Tarth. Isn't she beautiful???
When we got home, I took off my itchy sweater and my muscles were popping! This is what 3+ years of regular strength training gets you!
Sorry about the nipples. It was cold!
It looked so cold and windy out! I didn't want to run, but I did. I couldn't find my Garmin so I mapped out an 8 mile route and then just went with the flow...
When I got home from my run, Jelly's blanket (which is normally on the bed) was laying in the middle of the breakfast nook! He's such a little weirder! I wish I could have seen him drag that out in his mouth...
Then I went to Knoebels with my family! Tyler sat in the back because he ran 20 MILES that morning and he wanted to stretch his legs.
Knoebels was so much fun! Here are just a couple pictures... A longer post is forthcoming.
First of all, how much do I look like my older brother when I use the beard Snapchat filter!? Scary!!!
My fam!
Tyler and Debby's Fam!
My nieces are just THE CUTEST! I know, I am biased.
Look at my morning hair!
Paul loves Sundays. This is how he starts every Sunday in honor of football...
What is some of your Normal Sunday Stuff? Tell me something fun you did this weekend! Was the weather nice for running?
Since the weather was nice, I figured I'd better run somewhere other than my neighborhood. I drove to Lower Allen Park and did a 9 miler. It was GORGEOUS and I'm going to do a photo dump post of this run later in the week.
