Signs of fall

I've been taking notice of the signs of fall (my favorite season) lately: temperature lows in the 50's / high's in the 70's, pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, being able to hear the Parkview band practicing in the morning, seeing pumpkin patches. Soon, the leaves will be turning colors and falling to the ground. My favorite sign is when Andy's has the Great Pumpkin Pie concrete which is the best thing that Andy's makes. It's up there with the Ozark Turtle. All I need now is to check my (e-)mail and see an invitation to a hayride/bonfire, and possibly a Halloween costume party :). I just love fall. It makes me so happy.
Nevertheless, the 12 mile run this morning was very pleasant. I didn't run very fast, especially the first 6 miles, but it was a nice run because the weather was fantastic. We had planned to run the trails but changed that plan after last night's rain. I'm not sure why I felt so weak. I have been known to be deficient in vitamins, minerals, and white blood cells, but it might just be because it is peak week and today makes 30 miles already! I think I might contact my general practitioner (whoever that is - I met him once 3 years ago) and get a little wellness checkup. It never hurts. In the mean time, I'll be sure to add in a sweet potato at lunch (potassium) and leafy greens with chicken for dinner (iron). Maybe that will do the trick :)
I hope you all get to enjoy the amazing weather this weekend! Happy Labor Day!
