I think Cola thought so too, he was always way out in front of me running. Can you see him there down the trail?
I took a route I hadn't taken running before to start with for a three mile out and back, very worth it for the views I got once I got across the field.
This is how I felt about my run. Notice Cola here. I had the camera set on the self timer on a fence post.
Things I had to watch out for going off the beaten path, cactus, barbwire crossing fences, big cow turds (they can really trip you if you aren't paying attention) and porcupines, or something, but the tracks were pretty cool looking.
I ended up doing 12 miles. 4 on trails and 8 on the "roads". I knew I had to get in my long run today since Wednesday it is supposed to be cold and snowy and that was when I was going to do my long run.
I love fall running. You never know what the weather will be like and when it is perfect like today I just want to soak it all up. I am not a summer kind of person. I hate being hot. I love mornings where there is a slight chill to the air. The air smells sweeter in the fall. Too bad winter is next. But I guess that is why I love spring so much.
What do you love about fall?
Yay for great fall running. I absolutely love that first picture!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE everything about fall. It is the time of year I really look forward too. It has been pretty chilly here in the morning, but then by afternoon it is up in the 70s. Still pretty decent afternoon running weather.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall colors the weather brings with the changing of the season. Love running in the cool weather too. Boy girl you sure can jump.
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome picture of Cola watching you jump!! You have the best places to run out there in Montana! The weather has cooled down here on the east coast too but it's been pretty rainy so not beautiful blue skies as of late.
ReplyDeleteI am with you, fall is awesome and the best time to run! Love the pics!
ReplyDeleteLol I love the jump photo! and all the argyle! awesome :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! And, I'm impressed by the self timer picture, I know you do them a lot and you've got the timing down, but it's still so fun to see. I love that Cola is standing there probably saying "hurry up".
ReplyDeleteLove the action shot and how Cola is wondering what the heck you are doing lol!! I love fall because of the cooler temperatures and all of the colors. 47 degrees! Must be nice because it was 104 in California yesterday!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you get such awesome jump shots?! Great job on the run :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, snow already!? Zoinks. It was over 100* here yeterday.
ReplyDeleteI love that jumping picture!
That IS the perfect running weather!! Enjoy it while it lasts!
ReplyDeleteCompletely JEALOUS here!! We're still in triple digits. But I never have to worry about snow, so there is a trade off.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture! Fall running is my favorite. It's not too hot not too cold. Perfect dry running weather.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love fall running too but now that we're in Tx it doesn't actually feel like fall until December. :) Hope your hip continues to feel better!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing run!! Fall is my favorite time of year to run, between the colors and the smell of the air, and the temps, can't get any better!
ReplyDeleteYour jumping photo is awesome :) Your trails don't even look like actual trails which makes them even better!
ReplyDeleteWe don't get much of a "Fall" in FL. I do love all the pumpkin and cinnamon smells coming from all the shops and restaurants this type of year, though.
ReplyDeleteVery jealous of your weather. What a beautiful day for a run! I'd submit that jumping pic to a running magazine, too!
So glad you are really enjoying running again. Looks like you found a great new route and really impressed Cola with that jump... heck, Girl, you impressed us all!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME pictures - especially the jump! That looks like such a beautiful area to run in. And I'm jealous that you have such a great running partner.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so pretty! I envy the ability to get out on beautiful trails like that in your backyard. I do love fall running, too. But I will admit, I would be freaking out at the idea of snow in early October!
ReplyDeleteLove that blue sky!
ReplyDeletei love when you tell the stories of your runs! they seem so peaceful, freeing and adventurous! the jump pic is amazing!
ReplyDeleteSnow?? I'm so jealous :) It was humid and in the mid 80s here today.
ReplyDeleteI love how Cola is looking at you like "WTF are you doing" in that jump pic haha
Fall is definitely the best time of year. Your running environment is so different from mine LOL.
ReplyDeleteAnd snow??? It's supposed to be near 90 here the rest of the week.
I love everything about fall (except colds). It's my absolute favorite season. Your photos captured it perfectly, too.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite season by far! I love the cooler temps, open windows and gorgeous leaves!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of you jumping and Cola looking at you like you are crazy. What is that human doing!? How many times did it take to get the shot? It's great!
