Technicolor Run

Wow, is it ever some kind of colourful out there! This time of year is when the view from the bluff can be breathtaking, and so too along the river. There is so much red, which I never expect to see on the prairie. I grew up with poplar yellow and maple brown, nothing red anywhere that I remember. But the river valley is lined with red. Saskatoons? Dogwood? I don't know what bush is what.

I ran the route in reverse of what I've been running it for the past ... how many months? It's so different looking, surprisingly so, going the other way. But all the colour, it's dazzling.

On top of all that, I had a good strong run. The last couple of runs, I think I've been running as good as I was in early spring, before I started slacking for the summer.

Still slacking at the write ups, though....
