Tigerchick,
I like fall running too.
On a side note: I was looking at your sig, and the second line says that "Lion has to outrun the fastest gazelle or it will starve." But in reality, doesn't the Lion just have to outrun the slowest Gazelle???

You must be driving your poor coach crazy! ;-)

Me too. I'm usually kind of banged up from a summer of racing and should take more time off from running. It's really hard not to run in the fall. For me, some of it is the memory of cross-country in high school and college.

Where can I get that hat at? I need to get one for my coach; he's Canoodian.

Awesome! Problem is that that hat only comes in child sizes. Damnit!

ya know, I love running in all seasons, but fall is quite fine I must agree..

I take issue with your signature.. lions hunt at night, not in the morning; they hunt by ambush, not by running their prey down. That little homily from some moronic business-empowerment-lipservice-instead-of-real-thinking company annoys the pee out of me every time I see it. In the morning, the gazelles may safely graze around the lions, who are probably lounging happily near the carcass of last night's dinner. The time to worry is when the sun goes down, and running doesn't help..

Lame joke:
Two guys camping on safari in an African reserve are sleeping soundly in their tent when they are woken by an ear shattering roar terrifyingly close to their tent. They nervously put their heads through the flap and see the unmistakable shape of a lion prowling at the perimatere of their camp. It roars again.
Both men leap back into the tent one starts shaking uncontrolably: terrified he looks across at hic companion to see him calmly lacing up his trainers.
"You Idiot!" he hisses "Do you think they're going to make you run faster than a lion?!"
"No" says his mate cheerfully - "But they'll sure make me run faster than you."
I'll be here all week.
"Are you sure we're going fast enough?" - Emil Zatopek

it doesn't sound as good if you say "slowest" gazelle
but yeah, technically you're right. :P

Yeah, probably.
I'm not running today (swim double! and a massage) - tomorrow he's giving me a new training schedule, month one of marathon training for Hyannis. So I'll be back 'on a leash' then.
He told me outright the other day "you are a very difficult person to coach." I didn't disagree.

Ok - I'm calling you out on this. You like running YEAR ROUND!
But post some pictures for us, of your running routes through the fall leaves.

Yeh, I second the photos of the area. I have spent 7-10 days in Bar Harbor every September for many years but have never been there at any other point in the year. It would be great to see how it progresses into winter. Kinda think it may be different than it is here in Houston.

I'll look like a tourist if I go snap fall pics! I'm not a tourist, I live there! Can't look like a tourist, that's bad.
I'll get some of us running, next time I'm there - will be the end of October.
