This morning's run was the best run I have had in a long time... NOT because of a PR or because I went really far.. but because I played.  I stopped and used the restroom... stopped and took pictures... went at a slow pace, watched some wildlife and watched the sun come up over the river.  It was a cool 40 degrees so I could wear a long sleeve running shirt, and some crappy Dollar General gloves and a fall headband.... I LOVE this time of year... it makes me feel so awesome!  I live a block from the Mississippi.... I can run this path any day I want... I don't do it often... but when I do, it feels like home.

I am standing in Iowa.... the hills across the Mississippi are Wisconsin's... ;-)
