My first run since the 1/2 marathon on Sunday and MAN was it ever sweet!

59F/16C, sunny and perfect for running!

We’re nearing the end of summer and my favorite running season is approaching. I could see a few leaves on the ground today. Something that makes me smile ear to ear. I know some people view the end of summer as a tragedy because winter is near but I love the fall. For me, running in the fall is like eating chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I ran 40 minutes at a snail’s pace and threw in several sets of leg drills wherever it felt right.

The run got me thinking about when I started training with Mother Goose and I used to sing this song during our long runs!

I loved the running in fall analogy to chocolate. I could not agree more! (expect…it would have to be white chocolate for me)

Oh man, I love fall. It is by far my favorite season. It hasn’t started cooling off much here yet, but I’m looking forward to it.

Fall is my favorite too. though it’s been fall like here all season (I’m not complaining). Oddly I enjoy winter running, though ours is slightly less harsh than yours.
