Fall is here!

Yes I've been sketching...and at the moment haven't scanned anything in to put up. I wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation of something that started Monday night. Cool weather...that's right...cool weather.

My wife and I are training for a half marathon in November and this past Monday we went out for our 3 mile recovery run in "easy" mode. The cool weather had arrived that day in the south that makes one feel that if he weren't following a training plan he could have ran much farther than the 3 miles just from the cool air that was outside.

It's like that again this morning...coming into work I noticed that cool weather, and some of the leaves had fallen from the trees around my house. I love fall...I really do. It's a bunch of things I think...It's the cool weather, the colorful leaves, the smells in the air that signify change of season. It's the college football that starts this weekend (go Syracuse!). And of course it's the NFL starting up again with the wrapping up of MLB. Go Falcons, and Yankees!

It's also the perfect time for running. I've always ran better in the fall. With only a 10k and a 15k left for the running series I have been participating in, both leading up to the Half Marathon in November, one can only take a deep breath and think another summer passed.

So there you have it...I welcome fall with open arms, and a smile on my face. Thanks for stopping by!
