How fitting that today, the official first day of Fall, is the first day I saw my breath on my morning walk – ahh!

Coupled with this week’s chillier temps is the undeniably beautiful rainbow of colors that tree leaves all over the city have turned into, seemingly overnight. Fluttering to the ground and audibly crunching underfoot. ‘Tis the season! Here are this week’s favorite finds from around the web.

    The highlight of my week happened yesterday! I ran down to the beach, did a nice 5 mile run to train for the breast cancer run next weekend, and then headed to the local farmers market. I picked up some freshly picked honey crisp apples (my fave!) and a bunch of leafy greens. I headed home feeling amazing after my run, cooked a delicious dinner, and sat on my porch and watch the crazy storm that turned into one of the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen.
