There was still a mild sunny warmth of summer, but the humidity and debilitating persistence of the heat had disappeared to reveal the first crisp notes of autumn. It was weather where comfort could be had in both a tee shirt or lightweight pullover.

The fitness aspects need to keep priority. I feel better with them.
