Forest Joggers!
Hey, howsabout this weather!?! Right!? Make sure you thank Mother Nature! She’s making up for that hot mess she sent us just a few weeks ago. She’s giving us a little taste of Fall. Makes me want to dig into my hall closet and start dusting off my headlamp!
Run time temps today are forecast to be about 70 degrees with low humidity. Can’t beat that! There might even be a left-over small patch of mud here and there for good measure. Hard to think of a reason not to be out jogging in the forest tonight!
OK, announcements first, then details:
