After not running in nearly two months I couldn’t help but put on the Asics to take advantage of the fall weather and the dirt trails at Creamer’s Field. Today was my second run there, and it’s a great place for a run — the trails are soft, it’s nice and cool out, the scenery is inspiring, and it smells like fall. Living in California I’d forgotten the smell of autumn, with the scent of newly fallen leaves mixing with fresh cool breezes. In addition, the few geese and cranes that are still around make for perfect company by helping to take my mind off the fact that I’m in horrible running shape.
