A Love Letter to Fall

Dear Fall,

I've been thinking about you a lot this last month. You see you are my favorite season of the four. Spring is pretty. Winter is a wonderland. Summer is...well HOTTER THAN HELL AND I HATE IT!

You, my dear Fall, are chill in the air on a sunny day. You are the season where colors of red, yellow and orange fill the landscape. You are the season where the leaves rustle as we walk among the fallen ones.

As a runner, I love you, because I just head out on a run, and feel comfortable and happy. There is no pouring of sweat in Fall. There is no wondering when will I hit the next water area. I can ease into a Fall run.

I love you Fall. Even now as I am trapped in 100 degree HELL for what must be the 1,000th day this year. I will take a 40 or 50 degree Fall day, any day. Fall I miss you.

I know you will be here in a few short months, but now as I mop my brow, sweltering in the heat, it feels like an eternity until I see you. Maybe you could visit me early this year? Maybe?

Think about it Fall, come soon, and make this lover of Autumn a happy man.

Love,
Charlie
