The Weather Channel told me it was 48 degrees outside. And the sun? It had already disappeared.
But it had been a long week and all I really wanted to do was go for a quick run. And the treadmill at the YMCA? That didn't sound so appealing.
So I pulled out so pants, layered a long sleeve shirt over a T-shirt and off I went. I admit, it was a bit chilly. But I wasn't about to complain. Between the crunchy leaves on the side of the road and the smell of someone burning a fire in their backyard, it was heavenly.
My only gripe? My MP3 player decided to die. Less than a mile into my run. And of course it had to happen just as the new Matchbox 20 song was coming on. So for most of my run, I was left with just my thoughts and the sound of fall. And honestly, it wasn't that awful.
The run itself was only 2 miles. But after choosing to not lace up the shoes for a good chunk of October, it just felt good to run again. And I need to start again, because the brain? It's been thinking. And it involves an early April event.
matchbox twenty! and it's matchbox TWENTY not 20. I know this because I used to be in the fan club.
ReplyDeleteI wish the world smelled like burning leaves every day.
ReplyDeleteI ran this morning in SHORTS. And it was, like, 30 degrees. Whoops.
You ran in shorts? That's just silly.
ReplyDeleteI love that new matchbox twenty song... such a great pump-you-up song!
ReplyDeleteI had a similar run outdoors today as well... I HEART fall!
