The end of Summer
Today it's 89 degrees in Minneapolis (32 C) and so much like summer it's heartbreaking. Heartbreaking because on Wednesday the high will be 58 degrees, a 31 degree drop and even if we do have a long fall, with drops like that summer is most certainly over.
I had a friend at run club tell me once that she needed to get her social schedule in place before it got too cold because otherwise people in Minnesota don't go out in the winter. I'm afraid I'm one of those people. Except this winter, I suppose, because I've signed up for the Big Sur Marathon at the end of April. Again. This will be the fifth marathon I've signed up for in the last year and if I run it, it will only be the second one I'll have run. I think I'll blame the hospitalization in May and the publication of a book on my lack of ability to keep up on the road. Or perhaps I could blame the unpredictable weather in Minnesota?
