A Fall Run (and Rhyme)

I almost always get my exercise at the gym these days because whenever I go running outside, my left hip hurts for the next week. It's been like this for a year and I finally got an x-ray yesterday and have a doctor visit next week. Seriously, I take advantage of this healthcare, k? (I've already self-diagnosed after talking to several people and I'm thinking my left leg is longer than my right and somehow it's causing hip issues...sound ridic? It probably is. At least I didn't self-diagnose via WebMD but from real people. I have to self-diagnose...it's a must, k? Oh, what's that? Stop running? Ugh..but nothing gives me that 'high' quite like running outside through Graz...see below.)

So... onto the point for heaven's sake. I snapped some shots of the fall scenery along the way. Nothing super grand, just iPhone pics. If I didn't have an SLR camera, my point-and-shoot Canon and my iPhone camera, I couldn't 'take you' everywhere with me. A tragedy that would be.

This street lining the park reminds me of when I lived in Washington DC, especially the Georgetown homes.


Favorite leaf hue is the bright coral. Coral is the best no doubt.

Merrily, merrily through some flower markets we go:

Graz is stunning! You rock for sharing pictures like these!! :) And as for words like "auslandsstipendienmesse"? Definitely crazy and hellish, yet incredibly impressive if you can pronounce that!

And your latest blog design is beautiful as always!

I admit I'm not a runner, but I do love seeing similar sights biking around our German town!
