Not to rush the seasons, but when I hear Septemeber, I think fall. Yes, I know we have until the end of the month until summer is “technically” over, but wake up! It is now dark out at 8, CVS is selling Halloween candy, and pumpkin beers are in full swing. It’s fall. Fall has classically been my favorite season- I’m a typical New Yorker so I will tell you that “I love that we have our seasons.” The vibrant autumnal colors and knee high boots get me every time- what can I say, I’m basic.
What makes this time of the year even better, you ask? Running.
A true runner can run in any condition, right? Well, I can’t.
I get dizzy when it’s too hot.
I get a pounding ache in my ears when it’s too cold.
If it’s too bright outside, I feel blinded and miserable.
Essentially, I am goldilocks and I’m looking for my perfect conditions. The perfect conditions are September. Is there anything sweeter than a warm September air with a cool fall breeze? And for that reason, I love a nighttime run in the fall- not too hot, not too cold… it’s just right. So that’s what I did- called a bestie and went for a nice, slow paced, 2 mile run on a toasty fall night.
So happy fall, and happy running!
Pumpkin spice Lattes!!! Happy Fall
