Today, I'm participating in the Friday Five Linkup from Eat Pray Run DC, You Signed Up For What, and Mar On The Run. And today's theme is 5 Things I Like About My Favorite City.
I'm from Starkville, Mississippi. But I currently live in Dauphin, Pennsylvania. So I'd like to tell you 5 things about the area that I live in.
1. To me, it's beautiful. Don't get me wrong. I'm a Southern girl, and I totally miss the South. But I think where I live is beautiful. I love the Mountains, and I love the Rivers. Here is a sneak peek from my run here in Dauphin.
If you enjoy hills, Dauphin is a great place to run.
2. The Fort Hunter / Harrisburg area doesn't disappoint either. Here is a view from one of my runs. I love the Rockville Bridge.

I'm from Starkville, Mississippi. But I currently live in Dauphin, Pennsylvania. So I'd like to tell you 5 things about the area that I live in.1. To me, it's beautiful. Don't get me wrong. I'm a Southern girl, and I totally miss the South. But I think where I live is beautiful. I love the Mountains, and I love the Rivers. Here is a sneak peek from my run here in Dauphin.

You can get a mixture of flat or hills, depending on which route that you take.
3. We have what's called the Capital Area Greenbelt. And this is where a lot of my runs with my running group take place. Once again, you can choose flat along the river, or hills in the Wildwood Area. It's a very popular area to run, and very pretty.
4. SNOW. I love snow. I get giddy every time I see it in the forecast. I'm not a big fan of the bitter cold that we are having right now. But I love the white stuff. Honestly, in the Winter time, I can't think of anything more beautiful than the sun shining and everything everywhere is covered in white snow.
5. Last but not least, Hershey Park. Lil Man and I went all Summer long. And honestly I think we both still miss going. We had a blast. I debated on whether we should buy season passes, and I am so so so very glad that we did. We went most days out of the week. And we created memories that will last a lifetime.
So, there you have it - My Friday Five things that I like about my favorite/current City.

You're right, you do live in a beautiful area! And what a cute little boy you have :) Glad y'all got to spend so much time together at a fun place like Hershey's Park!
ReplyDeleteThank you... yes... last summer was a blast! We are having fun this Winter in the snow.
DeleteDauphin is a beautiful area. We used to drive through on the way to visit my friends at college. It's nice to be out in the country yet still close to a few different cities if you need more to do.
ReplyDeleteI agree! We are within driving distance, but far enough away not to have to deal with the traffic.
DeleteYou live in a such a beautiful area! It looks like a really great place to run, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't complain. I do miss the South, but I love the landscape here.
Deletei haven't been to hershey park since i was a teenager -- time for me to plan a trip!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you do. I'd love to meet you 'in person" :)
DeleteI love these great running spaces and parks, Amy; it's so nice that you have these places to enjoy. I really do NOT miss living in a city that is primarily covered in concrete - ha! Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy some (cold) sunshine.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely cold!
DeleteLooks like a beautiful place with lots of places to run! Hershey Parks sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteWe loved the park.. he's waiting until he can get a little taller so he can ride more rides :)
DeleteI LOVE Hershey Park :) I used to live outside Philadelphia and really miss the snow and the seasons (now I live in Texas...where it's really hot or freezing with no snow)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is from Texas. And yes, that's one thing about here is that we experience all 4 seasons.
DeleteI would totally do the Hershey run...that's my favorite chocolate! But snow? No thanks...
ReplyDelete:) I love the snow.. and snow shoveling is a blast!
DeleteWe used to go to Hershey for a conference each year, but it was before our kids were old enough to enjoy it. We really need to get up there again.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe how much fun we had there!
DeleteLove Hershey Park!! I haven't been there in ages. Really want to run the half there.
ReplyDeleteThe Hershey Half was my first half marathon!
DeleteWow, that looks gorgeous. I can imagine taking long lovely walks in your area in the spring.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is beautiful in the Spring.
DeleteIt sure looks beautiful! It looks perfect for running.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree - it's a great place to run and lots of variety when it comes to terrain.
