The Swan Song of Summer

I used to go running on a pretty regular basis, but this summer I've let my busy work schedule get in the way. Today I went running for the first time in a while. Usually I go running on the Gallup Park trail that runs next to the Huron River. On a bright sunny day, with the light shimmering off the water, it's very beautiful. But today I decided to try something new and run up Nixon Road north of US-23. It doesn't take very long (less than a mile, in fact) to cross out of suburbia and into farmland. The setting sun was beautiful over the fields. I ran up to Pontiac Trail and headed back for a round-trip of four and a half miles. A little light on the mileage, but it was good anyways.

Here's a satellite image (a few years out of date) of the north part of Ann Arbor:



Tomorrow I am hosting a BBQ for some friends in honor of Labor Day. It's hard to believe that summer has already come to an end. So anyways, it's off to bed so that I can finish the preparations for tomorrow.
