A great fall morning — crisp and chilly. I love working out in this weather — and I love the fact that all of us boot camp ladies leave sweating our pants off. That my friends is a sign of a great workout.  I love living in Northern Virginia in the fall — we have so many trees — for allergy sufferers not so good, but overall it’s a gorgeous time of the year. The leaves change colors and it’s so pretty.

I lived in Arizona for a long while in my early – mid 20’s and although I loved it there — I really did miss the change of seasons. I find something very renewing about seasons — it’s like you get to take a fresh look at the world around you at the start of each one. Don’t get me wrong — having 300 days of Arizona sunshine when you are in college doesn’t suck either! Scott went back to Tucson, AZ last year around this time and took this shot of ‘Old Main’ at the University of Arizona –doesn’t look like fall does it?
