Fall Temperatures in July

We have been visited this month by a lovely reprieve from the usual heat and humidity of July and August.  A "Mini Polar Vortex," as the weather forecasters describe it, has brought a surge of cool Canadian air to Highlands, with temperatures this week down in the 50s every morning.  I'm not complaining - it has seemed like an early taste of Fall, and even the burning bushes behind Mountain Fresh Grocery and those lovely maple trees alongside the Presbyterian Church are starting to show some color.  Surely Fall is the best time of year to run in Highlands.

The plan called for six miles Tuesday - including two mountain (Big Bearpen and Sunset) -  six miles Wednesday, and six mile today.  And it has been accomplished!

But I have to admit that my legs are feeling a little tired.  Time for a rest tomorrow before Saturday's long run.
