I Love Fall

The past few days here in Amarillo have made me realize why I like living in Amarillo. We have four distinct seasons, and it has definitely felt like fall is on the way. I know it is a tease -- summer is not over yet, and there will definitely be a few more hot days before fall officially arrives. I have always loved fall; there is not doubt that it has always been my favorite season. However, as a runner, I appreciate it even more. Mornings are not my favorite time to run - it is dark, and, frankly, often scary when I am out on the roads all alone. The cool temperatures give me an opportunity to take a (comfortably cool) run after work or to sleep in a little later on the weekend and still get a long run in without the temperatures getting unbearably high. Bring on fall, and winter, too! I am tired of running in these hot temperatures!
On another note -- thanks to my wonderful friends and family who have donated to TSRHC and sponsored me in the marathon. I have already raised $695!
