Fall apon me...........

I love this time of year, I began running 15 years ago as summer took its final bows.

My first race was the ROTC 5k at John Carrol University. Late September running is when I got hooked.

I love the cool warm that is only early fall. The changing of leaves. Tree by tree they join in on what will soon be a symphony of color.

I set out this evening with 30 minutes planned. As I got warmed up my feet just kept taking wrong turns toward Shaker Lakes and down trails purposly leading me further from home without any plan. I just wanted to run. No training to do. No milage to log. I just wanted to run. I just wanted to enjoy the last days of summer.

30 minutes turned to 75 minutes.

Today was the first run of the year that held no intention.

Today I ran just to run.
