The fall is a magical time when the leaves change colors and fall off the trees. Its pretty simple. That is why they call it fall.
Running in the fall gives us an opportunity to witness the splendor and glory of this phenomenon out with nature. This is of coarse different from looking through a window. The game runners play in the fall is simple. When out running, we try to catch a leaf before it touches the ground. This game starts as a child. For those of us who still run outdoors, we can continue to play this game. The trick is to not change directions, not speed up or slow down, and to not reach for it. The idea is to run naturally with our eyes pointed slightly upward. The point is to identify a leaf that will float directly toward our path. Without breaking stride or altering our running motion, calmly snatch it from the air.
Try it. Its tough.
