Is it just me or does summer seem to go by faster every year? I acknowledge that my view of the calendar is more than a little skewed as a school district employee, but once we flip the calendar to August, it feels like time speeds up. I have to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the little things that this fleeting season brings. Because my work schedule slows significantly during the summer, we tend to pack in as many adventures as we can into these weeks, which only makes it go by more quickly. Looking back, however, I am always grateful that we took advantage of the warmer days, blooming flowers, and the free time we have to explore new places.
On that note, I hope you all have been enjoying the season, and would love to see what you have been up to! Therefore, we are holding a SUMMER PHOTO CONTEST! Please submit a photo from your favorite summer running/hiking adventure, be it a casual hike, run, or race to uppervalleyrunningclub@gmail.com by September 21st. Given that no one on our board (to my knowledge, anyway) has any credentials as an art critic, winners will be chosen via a very subjective and unscientific process, awarded some UVRC swag, and featured in our October newsletter.
Cheers to long days, productive gardens, and mountain adventures.
