I finally put a $140,000, 25 page grant to rest yesterday by 5:00. I feel much better having met the deadline (a few hours early even). I'll feel even better if I get the grant. Today I let myself meander along the trail feeling the coolness in the air at who-knows-how-fast because my Garmin was out of juice this morning (as was I). I noted how much both the daylight and the air have changed this week. It's not that end of summer air that lies upon the atmosphere like a cool sheet, it's the kind of brisk air that comes up from cooling ground and trees. I do love changes that come in September and October. They are my favorite months. But the cool air made me really hungry! I swear by seasonal eating. I can promise you that as soon as it starts gets cool I crave potatoes, bread, and all things carbohydrate. So when I got back, I ate 2 scrambled eggs inside a warmed whole wheat pita, with avacado slices and black bean salsa. I may be a so-so runner, but man I am so good at eating. |
