doh, a deer
thursday i opted to reset my alarm clock and went back to sleep.
today i geared up and rolled myself down comanche to the drumlin trail. i opted to head east towards town and could hear the horn from the train that ran on the tracks parallel to the trail. as i approached the bridge that crosses the fox river, i could see something moving in the trees ahead of me – which turned out to be a deer. it bolted for the woods before i got too close and i continued on my way.
honestly, it was awful humid this morning and i was rather lackadaisical in my effort. i made my turnaround at bethesda park and headed back home along the same route. as i headed west on the glacial drumlin, i saw two more deer along the trail. this time they turned tail and ran away much quicker. eventually i made it back into my subdivision and ended up stopping my watch with 7 miles completed in 59:30 which translates to 8:30 miles on average.
