A Running Doc’s Life: How to take in the Fall Season!

The air is getting cooler. The leaves are changing color. We may have to put on some other layers, but the scenery makes up the difference. Things are changing all around us. After all, is that not what the Fall Season is about?

I think we are all ready to make way for the new. We have all had enough of 2020, and are ready for something better. Take it in and get outside while you can. Enjoy the colors. Take in nature. Appreciate for what it is.

The bike trail is a great place to go out and see the colors. Go for a walk, or a run, or get on your bike. Take advantage of this. If you have not found time to do this, now is even more important than ever with this crazy year we are having.

Take if on with all you have. Be the one in control, when all else around us feels out of control.

When you are out for a walk, with nothing but your thoughts, it is a great way to let things go. Unwind. Relax. Just look around and take it in. There is so much to look at and take in. Appreciate the changes. You see the trees letting their leaves go. It is time for us to let things go.

Multiple sections of the trail are great to be out on to see the different colors. It is especially beautiful around the lake. The color changes, and the reflections. Sunsets have been great too. I have been posting those in different ways on Facebook. Even our dogs when we take them for a walk are taking it all in, especially if it is windy! They have lots of leaves to chase then!

Many different corners to go around and see something different!

So get out there. Whether with friends or by yourself. Just get out there! And remember:

This is a given. Things will always change. Right now we could use some good changes, but change is always happening. Learn to adjust to all those changes on the fly. Getting out and enjoying some physical activity is a great way to help adapt, and cope with the changes Learn how to deal with it, instead of fighting against it. Things will go a lot smoother in your life if you do. Let things go…just like the trees are doing now! Keep moving everybody!
