I heard geese this morning and that prompted me to get closer to nature.

I went over to Wheeler Farm and ran 4 miles on various paths around there. No pushing - just a nice recovery run. As I ran I was enjoying the various shades of gold, red, brown, orange and salmon. I kept thinking it would be a beautiful place to take some pictures this time of year.

Interestingly enough - as I took my last step running, the sun broke through for the first time in my run. I was able to enjoy the sun glinting off wet leaves and grass. As I walked a cooldown mile, I counted more than 25 groups taking family pictures. Guess I wasn't the only one with that idea.

This cool autumn weather does make for nice running, glad you enjoyed your morning.

I think you need to get Jen and Kevin over there for a picture!

Nice running week! I think it is wise to stay away from Red Bull ;) Apparently it gives your intestines wings ;)

I am so sorry about your eye :( It sounds miserable.
