Where is fall?
Monday: run 3 miles
Tuesday: nada
Wednesday: run 3 miles
Thursday: run 3 miles
By nature I am a late fall runner. I love wearing my running clothes with a long sleeve cotton T-shirt that my brother gave me several years ago. It's from the 1999 New England Cross-Country Championships. I did not attend the Championships and neither did my brother seeing as he was the manager of the men's varsity basketball team. But he saw a cardboard box marked "free" full of T-shirts and he thought I'd like one. The T-shirts were still there the next day, so he picked up another one for me. These free T-shirts have become a staple of my running wardrobe and I associate them with the late fall cold air and the early winter freeze. They have carried me through several marathons, a few shorter races, and countless runs. After the New York City marathon, I was too tired to walk and bumped into an electrical box jutting out of a wall. The sharp edge of the box cut into my shirt and ripped a small hole in the shoulder. It also has small bleach stains on the front and a safety pin attached to the bottom. The only time I didn't wear that T-shirt was when I ran Maui and Mount Desert Island. Too warm and too much rain.
It's almost Halloween and I haven't had much opportunity to wear my beloved T-shirts because of the warm weather in Boston. Too warm for my tastes considering it's almost the end of October. But you know what? Tonight it's drizzling and windy and fifty something degrees. Excuse me, I've got to go running.

It's been fantastically warm here in London, too. I was cycling under warm blue skies in shorts and tee-shirt yesterday afternoon.
The leaves are still green, and my lawn is growing lush at last, having been bleached brown and lifeless all summer long.
Until recently, in England we cut the grass from April to September, and let it alone all winter. These days it's exactly the other way around.
