― Hunter S. Thompson,

I love fall running right now with the leaves changing because I can run with my black lab on the nature trails. But I hate the first two weeks of November because that's when deer hunting season starts. We then have to stay home because I'm afraid that some of these idiots might be too drunk to distinguish us from a deer.

Don't wear your Canadian running hat

LOL!!.

NOW THAT WAS FUNNY.

Any pictures of the fall colors???? :))

It is awesome! Running has gone from my least favourite of the three sports to my favourite!!!! It's always a nice temperature - still not too cold evening in the evening. Although England is currently having the warmest October since records began... oh well - going to Australia soon :)



Man this cycle of Summer - Fall - Summer - Spring - Summer is going to be hard ;)

It must be beautiful this time of year up in Maine.

I do agree,fall running is definitely the best!

Low humidity,comfortable temperature,leaves changing color.

I live just outside NYC and I usually do most of my running in Central Park.

Its such a pleasure running in the park in October.

Yes, it is gorgeous.

October is the BEST month!

I'd post them if I had them, but I don't. Sorry

It's just... so perfect. Cold and clear sunrises, and those gorgeous leaves silhouetted against gray mornings. And bright, chilly afternoons, I love it.

In the past week I've run 60 miles with one day off and one double, which is more than I probably should have, but it's been irresistible. I keep wondering 'how many steps equals a stress fracture' (I've had two that were running induced, one from a bike crash) and I wish I could find that number and do n-1 steps. I just want to run and run and run. Tomorrow is a no-run day (8 Monday, 8 Tuesday, 10 today that I hadn't planned on but it was too nice to resist) and it's killing me. My legs are stinging, but I am simply aching to go for a morning run.

Precious fall.

I saw ten deer this weekend (at one time!) when I was on the island. It's nuts.

WILL YOU MARRY ME??

This hat - Made in Tigerchick's home State says it all... :-) Fall is the best!

Actually, the only problem with Fall is that winter will soon follow :-(

But then, I'll get to wear my new hat! :-)

it needs a pom pom and it'd be perfect :)

I never realized I'd get so many marriage proposals on a tri website ;)

You'll have to join R10C, Paulo, and mcoker in a duel.

awww, shucks. ;)

Totally agree. Cool and crisp in the mornings, still warm enough at lunch to wear shorts and sort sleeves, cool in the evenings for that perfect bedtime cuddle.... ahh love this season... ;-)

"How bad could it be?" - SimpleS

I was just thinking, while out on my run this evening, that the weather is finally starting to feel a little cooler here in FL - and then I come back and see your post :-)

It must be glorious where you are!!

I was REALLY looking forward to running this fall....the cooler temps, the color of the leaves turning, just me, the road, and the sights and smells of Autumn....a chance to reconnect to my first love (running) and restore my spirit in preparation for the long bleak winter ahead...
But.......my Plantar Fasciitis kicked in again....my morning runs would cripple me by mid-afternoon.....I CAN'T RUN!!!!!!
So....I'm forced to give it up for a while...
My idea is to work on my swim, bike (stationary), and try to establish some strength and flexiblity. In December, I'll try it again...slowly, on the treadmill, one mile at a time...
So....no marriage proposal (my wife wouldn't understand), but maybe I could run vicariously,through you...(It would actually be much better than marriage..a common interest, and none of the bothersome and potentially disappointing emotional and physical entrapments)...
Anyway...enjoy!!! Autumnal running is one of the finer ways to express one's love of the gift of motion...

Will you marry me (and Estee)?

I am so envious of the mileage you put in! Running is just the perfect sport. It's cheap, you can do it anywhere, you can take in the beautiful fall / winter scenery, hardly ever get cold, great total body workout. If it weren't for my dang knee I would be out there as much as possible. An hour at a time isn't too bad, but I'm jealous of your 20 milers!

You should take some pics on your next run! Maybe we should start a picture thread for scenery we've taken in while running or biking. I'm sure everyone has some great images to share.

:)
