“Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?” – Hal Borland

My favorite pun of the week:

     Twenty five days until marathon time.  I am constantly muscularly exhausted and every other day I eat absolutely everything not nailed down.  I crave all the carbs. I guess this is where I am supposed to be at this point in training? I have only one long run left the first of next week and then taper time.  Yay. It can't come too soon or I will gain ten pounds.
