I start most mornings with a run. It’s my way of kicking the day off on the right foot, getting some exercise before digging into work, and it allows me to take in the beauty of City Park. It’s always gratifying to pass fellow runners, many of whom I recognize as other fellow daily joggers, as well as dog walkers, sports teams practicing soccer or tennis, yoga practitioners and cyclists.
I started running late, and growing up never imagined I would one day call myself a running enthusiast. But now I can’t imagine my day without lacing up my shoes and heading out the door. And while running might not be the sport for you, there are plenty of other ways to get active and have fun. Whether you already play, are just getting started, or are curious to try something new, our big fall sports feature is a handy guide to all things sports. We hope it will be a slam dunk for our readers.
Writer Mike Scott also has some advice on how to be a good neighbor despite differences…and unfortunate fencing.

This issue hits a home run. Get out and enjoy the sporty side of the city and say “Hey” to your neighbors, whether it’s a shared nod of encouragement or a peace sign flashing as you pass someone on their daily run, walk or bike ride. It’s all part of the fun.
