oh, nope. Just a little pooch.
The days are getting shorter and colder and I like it! We are under a freeze warning for tonight. I say "bring it!" a.k.a. kill the allergens, already.
I went for an enjoyable run this morning. The thermometer said 37F and the feels like said 30. I had a hard time remembering what I should wear for such conditions. As it happened, I had on one too many layers, but nothing crazy.
I enjoy being out there in the dark and quiet - after talking myself out of sleeping in. Fall is my favorite time of year. Soon, the early morning hours will be icy and unwelcoming, but currently, they're perfect.
There's very little activity at that time of day, save for a handful of dog walkers who seemingly like the feel of the dark, quiet, early mornings too. I shuffled by a few of them, each of us acknowledging each other briefly before continuing our morning solitudes - pondering our life choices, or unable to shake a random earworm.
Some have small lights on their dogs, others wear lighted/reflective vests and/or headlights. Me, I have a headlight, but nothing else to really help the visibility.
I was over on J. Bezos's store site, looking at light vests, pondering.
It's reminiscent of my glory days as an elementary school crossing guard.
Now THAT was high fashion.
sigh what to wear?

Just saying "Hi" , wandering from Fresca's blog 🙂
I love fall too! And I wear a reflective vest like that for biking.
Where do you run? Are you near a track or trails?
gz, hi! Thanks for wandering over.
Fresca, good for you! I've run in the dark for years and am finally getting around to vesting. I run around mostly residential streets and sidewalks and multi-use paths. The MUPs have NO lighting.
You were a cute school guard! 30? Is that below freezing?
Liz, 30 must sound balmy to you! It's -1 celsius.
I NEED to get out and run but biking has taken all my free time. It's not cold here at all, which is also sort of depressing but then I think how I would REALLY not run if it was.
