Great Things About August

The days are getting shorter… Fall is right around the corner.

Great Things About August:

• Lots of local fresh fruit and vegetables.
  The return of the crisp apple.
• A rest month – no scheduled races.
• Planning new running goals for the Fall.
• Dog days of summer – hearing the hummer before he arrives at the feeder.
• County fairs – curly fries and “Wac-A-Mole!”
• Buzz of college football - fall camps, seniors, freshmen and juniors.
• A splendid Total Lunar Eclipse: August 28th (In the wee hours of the morning.)

Ran 5.4 miles along the river today – nice steady pace. Noted a surprising number of runners, walkers and bikers along the way. All enjoying the morning ~
