Back in Season...August morning struggle

Mondays are always hard but when its the first Monday of the month, especially when its the first day of August, I feel all kinds of ways. What happen to summer? Did I have a summer?

August also means the start of being back"in season". Academic season, college football season, and fall running season.

Since today is going to be a long work day, I had to run otherwise I would not be a happy camper.  It was essential to have my hour of "me" time. I know during August "me" running time will be mandatory. After hitting snooze for the 3rd time I got my assets up.

The cool 70 degrees started off the morning. As I wasrunning I processed what needed to be done for the day, the week. To my surprise I saw three African-American/Afro-latinoa/black women running.  That was a first for me in my eastie hood. Plus. This will need further investigation.

Passing through Wood Island T- stop I saw a sea of black -eyed-susans. Which I normally see but then the surprise of the cat and mouse. Always seeing new things on am runs.

Hopefully August will be full of good surprises and not "black eyes" :) .
