I LOVE summer but here are a few things that I am enjoying this Fall:
1.Cooler and Less Humid Weather Conditions.
As I said, I normally love the sunshine and warm temps of summer.
Hopefully, my runs will be more comfortable and hence speedier.
2. Fall Foliage Viewing and More Hiking Activities.
Living in upstate New York, we are usually treated to gorgeous fall colors. Hopefully the DRY summer weather will not impact this.
The Fall is also for the same reason, my favorite season to hike in. Boating Sundays have ended and be replaced by Hiking Sundays.
3. More Racing Ops.
Many more races are scheduled in the Fall compared to the summer.

4. A Race-cation with Friends.
Last year, I went to the Finger Lakes Region of NYS with my running friends and we had so much fun that this year, we rented a house again and spent 4 days on Cape Cod which included running a race and other assorted shenanigans.
5.Pumpkin everything and Cider Donuts!
Yes, I do love Fall food!! Especially those with added sugar. A must-have after a long run or race.
Happy Running! Are you looking forward to Fall? If so, what activities are on your bucket list?









I do love autumn! And yes, races in cooler weather are definitely more pleasant. I noticed that at my recent marathon – it was so good to have overcast skies – there were some raindrops here and there but they were hardly noticeable.

Yes. It’s easier to run without the heat and humidity.

Oh sure… rub it in. This time of year it’s almost painful to live in Florida! I’ll be happy in about a month, but for now I’m just living vicariously through all my blogging friends.

You’ve listed lots of reasons to love fall! It’s is always a breath of fresh air for runners after the hot and humid summers we have. We’re in the midst of a beautiful fall here, though it’s very dry.

We are totally opposite where I live. In the summer it’s too hot to run in the sun so we have to run really, really early. And we don’t get any fall foliage around here, which makes me sad because it’s so beautiful.

But your area is so beautiful and when it’s hot, there’s no humidity.

Even though we don’t really get fall here, I do love the cozy vibes. Maybe I’m more of a winter? I love sweaters and blankets and peppermint mocha things.
We also get lots more races this time of year and I love that, too!

And I don’t enjoy winter. But that’s because it’s so long here. And summer is so short.
