Fall has arrived

Ahh Fall, my very favorite season, especially here in Ohio- the cool, crisp days, the changing leaves, the clear blue sunshine filled skies all make fall my favorite.

This year I have a brand new appreciation for fall in that I love running in these cooler temperatures, after all summer of running in the heat and humidity. Now I've run in the summer before, but I've never trained for a fall race by running through the summer until this one.

So yesterday morning as I got up and prepared for my run, it was wonderful to put on capri running pants and a short sleeve shirt (not a tank) and to enjoy the wonder of fall. We ran on new to me trails and it was great- the leaves were all changing and I enjoyed the crunch of the already fallen ones under my feet and the clear blue sky.

I had a great run and I'm looking forward to more fall runs, especially the one BIG fall run I have coming up- my marathon. I can't believe it's only two weeks from today.
