At 5 AM this morning, while walking Peanut, I noticed the sound dropping through the leaves of the elms behind our home. I realized that I noticed the new sound because of the absence of others. The frogs and crickets had gone silent for the first time this fall. I was hearing the sound of leaves, heavy with dew, falling through their companions.
We ran with the expectation of the 45F temperature weather.com was promising. From the beginning, it seemed colder. I was lucky I'd thought to bring gloves. At run's end, the themometer on the deck was reading 38F.
First run of the season below 40F. Soon, 38F will be a welcome releaf.
