Fall

After some very muggy, humid weather last week, the weather was lovely, crisp and feeling very fall-like!

Tuesday was a 5:40 am run along the edge of the Heath, with a headlamp needed in the first mile and first run in a while in longsleeves. Pretty sky and a low mist above the Heath. (6.0 miles)

Wednesday was a 5:30 pm walk and talk with Ryan around the school block. (2.6 miles walked)

Out at 5:40 am again on Thursday. Nice morning. (6.0 miles)

 Friday, I was up and out at 6:45 to get in my run before getting some errands done and heading to work for a meeting and then home again for more work at the computer. Ran out on the powerlines. Lovely morning. There is that distinct fall XC smell in the air out there, like turning leaves and ferns and decaying leaf matter. One of the best smells. (8.1 miles)

Saturday I had a work event to attend from 9:00 to 3:00 so I was up and out at 6:45 for a run. Not quite as early as I would have liked so had to cut it a few miles short, but still glad to get out. (7.1 miles)

Then after I got home and before I settled down on the couch and didn't move for the rest of the afternoon, Ryan and I got out for a walk around the block. (2.6 miles walked)

Sunday, I headed over to Bradbury to volunteer at the Bruiser. A nice morning for racing, and always fun to see friends, cheer on the runners and catch up! Then it was home for a warm afternoon run out into the Cathance. Things are so dry out there, and the river is so low. Aie. (7.0 miles)

Sam had a lifeguard training and then Mom and Dad came over for dinner, and by the time they left, I was pooped and it was early to bed after a busy weekend!
