Nope it's not the new pumpkin scented dryer sheet…
Every year…. There is this particular phenomenon…
It's like magic…
Awesome sauce for runners here in the deep south…
And just yesterday I caught a brief glimpse…
Ya see it's hot here… like hot enough to make the devil sigh… from April until October every year…
And if the southern runner will just keep training… keep straining… and sweating to near the point of drowning or growing gills in the choking humidity… and keep building the mileage despite embarrassingly high split times…. At harvest time one will reap the fall bounce
Yesterday was just a brief taste…
After months of "easy" runs at a ~11 minute mile pace… and running faster leaving me wiped out for the rest of the day…. I went out in ~80F low humidity weather… and knocked out 8miles at a 9:15 pace… smooth… easy… like I had little wings on my shoes
And Fall is really not even here yet… this is just about to get good.

Hey, Peter converted his temperature from Canadian to American, that was nice of him
I think I might be feeling the bounce right about now! I've got to crank out a 20 miler on Sunday, so hopefully I'll be bouncing right along. Don't you love fall races?
