- You no longer need to wake up at 5am to start a long run, because the sun isn't up, and it isn't sauna-temperature, until nearly 7.
- On Sundays running your long run on the treadmill is more tempting than running outdoors because it's a great way to catch the first half of the morning football games. (Also, dreadmill miles seem much faster when you imagine yourself running in for the TD.)
- Spending the rest of Sunday on the couch or at a sports bar, eating nachos, watching the afternoon games, seems like a brilliant post-run recovery strategy.
- Oktoberfest beer is on tap. 'Nuff said.
- Before your morning run, you spike your coffee with pumpkin-spice creamer, and pumpkin bread is your post-run food of choice.

I love your cat!! Also: insanely jealous of your access to good nachos. I was tempted to have some while I was over last week but didn't quite get to - but it won't be long now... :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think about watching football on the treadmill. That doesn't sound so bad! :)
ReplyDeleteand I can't say enough how happy I am to be able to run in the afternoons again (even though it is still 70 degrees and HUMID). Forecast is for low 60s this weekend. YES!
Tonight's version of you-know-it's autumn-when: a hot shower sounds like a treat and not like torture.
ReplyDeletePumpkin creamer sounds delightful!
Oh, the cuteness of that cat photo is just too much!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I tend to fall of the treadmill if I try to watch tv while running on it. I can only imagine it would be worse if I started pretending to dodge tacklers on my way into the end zone.
