I forgot how much I love to run. Today a friend asked me if I wanted to go running around Bush park, and though I was somewhat reluctant at first, I agreed to go and ended up loving it. There is something about getting a good workout while being immersed in nature itself that gives me a sense of satisfaction I haven't found elsewhere. We ran about a 5 mile loop and during much of the run my feet were crunching upon trails covered fully in leaves of red, orange and yellow. Up higher into the park is where all the humungous leaves are that are now dried up and more shades of dark green and brown and have curled up their edges forming bowls to hold the rain that has fallen here recently. I also spotted a squirrel that struck me as unique because he was the same size and color as all the other tons of squirrels around, except that this little guy had right red-orange coloring on the end of his tail and the top of his head.
