Fall?

It was a great day for training. Some wind and cool; maybe 68 degrees? I started out with the hopes of getting in a good mid-distance walk and doing it fast. So I ended up with a distance of 8.38 miles in 1 hour and 48 minutes. That’s good enough for a 12.89 minute/mile average. And with this wind, the falling of the leaves accelerated; pretty soon after I started, I was creating a “crackle” with every step and leaving a trail of broken leaves behind me. At one point, I looked up ahead of me and the sun was creating golden sparkles on hundreds of leaves as they slowly danced and twirled in their descent.

BP 121/72  Pulse 69 and weight is 194.8 (Must have been the ice cream last night)
