One in the Rotation

This autumn weather has been beautiful. I immensely enjoy the long-sleeve shirt and shorts combo. It has something to do with maintaining the perfect core temperature while preserving the freedom of unclothed legs, luxuriating in the fresh fall air. After work today I set out from downtown on my run home: 45 degrees, a setting sun, and stillness. As I may have mentioned, my workplace changed addresses. We are no longer next to the Target Field. Now we are in the heart of the central business district. I negotiate a few blocks of traffic, cross the stone arch bridge, run by the U of M, continue on river road all the way to the Ford bridge, and then bring it back home on west river road. 10.4 miles. Almost non-stop. It's a satisfying route, one that will be a regular in the rotation. Tonight I was feeling the flow, invigorated by the quietude.
