Clown costumes?

That's all kinds of messed up. 

another SRD for me. Or maybe I'll go run later, who knows.

QOTD: I followed it a little.Game 7, bottom of the 9th in the world series gives me goosebumps no matter whose playing.

Pretty awesome run last night, not so much in terms of pace but just the look and feel of the outdoors. Cool, grey, and drizzly when LadyB and the woods had that wet earthy damp smell of fall. By the time we hit the endpoint of the loop the clouds were starting to break up and the fading sun added a nice orange glow to the western sky where we were heading. We ran this loop opposite of our normal direction, meaning we did the upper woodsier trail first and the lower lakeside trail to finish up. Sort of on purpose to give us more light at the end of the run since darkness falls so early now and it's a bit more open nearer the lake. I was taken aback a few times how different the trail looks in this direction. A few times I had to think about where I was at on the trail though I've run it hundreds of times. Towards the end of the run I started to notice just how colorful it is still in the woods right now, the trail and forest floor covered in brown/burnt orange leaves, with the smaller trees and saplings still blazing in yellow and orange with still just a few tiny hints of green to be seen. It was really nice, and other than the dog and myself, and one lone hiker we had the place to ourselves. It still amazes me the things you see when you just get out there. A damp yucky day turns  into something special during an evening jaunt in the woods.

Today, another evening run over at Monocacy Hill. It's sunny today. Should be nice. There is a little tunnel of small trees over there in the opening mile that I can't wait to see.

QOTD: I casually followed the Series and was pulling for the Royals. I did not watch any of the games except for the last 2 innings last night. Dang, the tie run stranded on 3rd in the bottom of the 9th. The place would have gone nuts had a homer been hit then.

7 this a.m. on the roads - enjoying running under the stars, but still looking forward to an extra hour of sun in the morning next week.

QOTD:  No rooting interest, but I followed the playoffs and WS and watched a few innings of a few games, including last night.  I watched the first couple of innings with my kids - they don't know much about baseball but were still excited to watch.  Would have liked to see the Royals win, but that's baseball...

I'll get in a bunch of riding today: ride up to DD school and back twice, ride up to DS school, and might break out the ol' stationary bike stand and get 30 minutes in. It's a riding kind of day. Can't wait for the DR's appt next week to get an idea of when I can run again. Have a good day all.

QOTD: Last night was the first portion of the game I saw due to a youth baseball party for my son. I am losing interest in main stream professional sports for some reason. Don't know why just am.

 

Kelly: guessing you either ran 7 mils or just some additional (& miles.  If I saw a creepy clown in the woods in the middle of the night that just might permanently ruin my ability to run in the woods.

 

Sue, that's obviously a capital 7!

XT - great description of your run.  Many of my "magical runs" seem to be on the trails in autumn...

Got out of work late this morning, got home and took a nap that lasted longer then I wanted it to . On the flip side I'm feeling well rested for a run so It looks like a nice 8-10 miles is in order.

QOTD:  What is this "World Series" event you speak of ????.  Didn't watch a bit of it. I forgot where the Giants were from and kind of hoped that the Royals would win since they haven't won it in a long time, at least that's what I gathered from hearing a few news reports. When I was driving truck I used to follow baseball a lot. Now I barely know anything about it. It seems that the more active I became the less I followed baseball and among the "ball" sports, the more I prefer soccer, football and even basketball.
