Asymmetrical Information

From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:

A hint of fall

Since someone asked Instapundit for Autumn pictures (and Ann Althouse has posted a few), I'll post some I took three weeks ago, when it was just a hint in the trees. I started a post, left it in draft and never finished.

Small splashes of red here and there mark the arrival of fall. They livened up a 10 mile run today along one of my favorite local routes. I returned in the afternoon to take some pictures:

The Sunday long run also marks the return of fall. I tend not to go over 10k in the Summer and Winter, but 45-70 degrees is wonderful long run weather.

I've been watching quietly as Mr. Henley becomes addicted to running, which I do every fall, partly because of this scenery. Unfortunately, my recent injuries have put a stop to the long runs.

The rest of the pictures are in the extended entry.

While running probably keeps me from getting too fat, it turns out that's not enough to keep me at it. I do it because I get depressed and can't sleep when I don't. I tend towards depression and distance runs seem to keep my 'levels' right.

I'm also a bit of a loner, so I actually enjoy the time to myself. Anyone with a house full of kids can understand this.
