10 Beautiful Miles!

Yesterday, like most people in Central PA, I decided to get outside! It was February 18th and it was 60 degrees! After being sick for several days, I decided that I wasn't sick anymore. I would go outside and have a beautiful trail run and all would be right in the world.

Well, the trail run was beautiful but I was still not feeling well. My legs felt great but my "motor" was just... so, so, so tired. I managed to do 10 miles. It was enjoyable, I was just tired.

Starting from my parents' house in Millersburg, I ran over to Lenkerville and past my elementary school. The playground looked a lot smaller than I remembered, and the only piece of equipment that remained from my childhood was the "Bug".

I used to sit with my friend Jared on these steps and play Wheel of Fortune at recess! Ah, such wonderful memories!

Then I ran up Berry Mountain via the paved road. I was so slow that I could have walked the same pace I was running.

The top of the mountain wasn't too muddy. I'm always nervous about running up there by myself.

I stopped at the power line and looked out over the valley...

Then I ran down a dirt road and across the Wiconisco Creek.

To add some mileage, I ran around a neighborhood that had a beautiful mountain view.

Then I ran back into town via the rail trail that went by the Ned Smith Center.

I was glad I got to enjoy the beautiful weather even though I wasn't feeling great.

But now I have a fever again... Boo. I'm dumb.

Did you get outside yet this weekend?
Do you remember your elementary school playground?
