Pause for breath

I planned to go for a run this morning, but the weather forecasters on the radio kept talking about the approach of the remnants of hurricane Gonzalo so I nearly changed my mind. There were a few squally and heavy showers as I was driving Iain to school, but I decided to be brave and head to the park anyway.

I'm glad I did; it was a bit windy but the sky turned blue and I managed a whole 5k. Admittedly it was at a slow pace, made even slower by the frequent stops to call for Bella, who kept chasing squirrels and seemed to be aiming for at least a 10k run. I also had to stop a few times for photos. I know it's yet another autumn tree scene, but they are lovely and the leaves will soon be gone, especially if that hurricane turns up!
