Things I’m Looking Forward To

Fall officially begins tomorrow (note: did you know you don’t capitalize the names of seasons?), which means taking a look at all the things the season will bring.

Like running my half marathon.

Okay, if it wasn’t for Sunday’s awesome run, I would have said I’m feeling really burnt out with training.  Mentally, at least.  I hate waking up early for weekday runs and I hate going straight from a long run to work for 8 hours.  And last week, I really hated bugs.

Signs of Training Burnout:

• You have long run irritability
• You have almost-end-of-the-run, just-want-it-to-be-over-already irritability
• You have short run irritability

**Note: After taking a week off from early runs and having the day of my long run off from work, I’m feeling a renewed sense of enjoyment for running 😛

But really, I’m excited for training (the hard part) to be over with and the race (the fun part) to be here.

Or maybe I’m just excited to go to Snooze again.

Pancake flight for the win!

Squash.  Nuff said.

Pumpkin spice lattes.

Apples.

The pumpkin patch.

 Carving those pumpkins.

 

Watching the leaves change.

Soup, stew, chili.

Continuing the search for a perfect pumpkin beer.

Which leads me to my next point.

Overdosing on pumpkin.

 

 

Okay, you get the point 😛

Note how football is not on the list.  Try to convert me all you want, Joey, but it’s not going to work.

I also really want to go to a murder mystery dinner show!!  Anyone care to join me?
