good lord

Summer is chillin' down.

 

The musk of high-bush cranberries returns to the woods.

 

The smell is like a drug, and has you wanting to run the Equinox Marathon despite your lack of training.

 

You notice something, that you've run that marathon for so many years that your body seems to remember it, and can take you the miles without putting in all the hours they suggest in Runner's World.   

 

Oh, you won't have a PR, and you probably won't beat your neighbor who's been out every night running with the dog, but you will finish with 10 minute miles and a smile.

Ned, just in the last two or three weeks I have been quite impressed how many more runners suddenly came out of their holes and onto the trails. It's the Equinox bug and it's out to get us all!! See you by the T-field again, mostly likely. :-)
