Christmas morning run at Lake Scranton

We spent the last several days visiting Mike's father in upstate NY.  Last night we started the drive to my parents in PA.  We decided to break up the trip and spent the night in Scranton.  This morning, I drove about 10 minutes from our hotel to Lake Scranton where there is a nice paved trail around the lake.  It was a chilly Christmas morning run, but having spent my time in NY running on a treadmill, I was determined to get back outside.  I was happy I did!  The whole trail around the lake is about 3.5 miles.  Part of it was closed but I could still run out and back.  There were some hills but it wasn't like the mountainous area where the hotel was located.  Merry Christmas!

Beautiful morning run around the lake

Back at Disney World

We arrived at Disney World Monday afternoon for our annual holiday trip.  We are again staying at the Beach Club, which is where we stayed in June.  The last time I was here was right before my stress fracture and surgery.  I think the fracture started on my run that Thursday morning but didn't stop me from running Friday morning.  Luckily I made it home before it got to the point that walking was painful.

Thankfully this trip has been much different.  I still enjoy running around the Boardwalk area resorts and over to Hollywood Studios and back.  The weather has been on the cooler side, which is a welcome change from June's oppressive heat and humidity.  I love seeing the holiday decorations all around the resorts!  I had good runs yesterday and this morning and am hoping to get a run in before we leave tomorrow morning.  Then the next time I will be back at Disney will be for Marathon Weekend in less than a month!

I always love the sun rising over the Boardwalk
