My body clock is a bit off, in a good way, from those days in Texas. So I was up early on a Sunday morning with nothing to do, and since the rain hadn't started (it has since) I headed out to stretch out my legs (I think I have the itch back, it feels good).

Went up Trenton so I could get a long hill and control a nice easy pace. Then I cut over to the Y, headed down the hill to 11th and home. Stuck with that easy pace, around 8/minute mile, which I needed after pushing a little yesterday. Really quiet out, I think I saw one car the whole time. Cloudy, cool fall morning, leaves everywhere make the whole city a mess right now. Also in a good way. 31:57

I love the quiet fall mornings with the messy leaves everywhere.

Except when they mean you have to rake them in your backyard! (Which is what I did all afternoon.)
