| It was actually warm this morning. Started with a t-shirt and shorts and was hot by about 2 miles in. Fortunately, there was a light drizzle on and off. Saw about 5 or 6 other runners though no wildlife.

| Was in work very early this morning for an experiment so left a little earlier and did my run before dinner. Nice to run in when it was light out. It was yet another perfect running day. Also, there is a waterfall as part of the community landscaping and the doe and her two fawns were standing in front of it. Couldn't have planned the scene better. A car passed and spooked them and they tracked with me in the woods for about a quarter mile before they just stopped.

| Planned day off. Slept in a little only to work a 14 hr day PLUS commute. First time not coming home for dinner without a visiting speaker since we moved. But sometimes the work has to be done. Overall an ok day, just need more hours in the day... Or lower expectations.

| Up at 4 A.M. to get the run in before another busy day. No wildlife but did see at least 6 other runners. Another very pleasant day for a run.

| Strange weather this morning. It felt about 5 degrees colder near my house. At first I thought it was just the warmup 1.5 mile but the final 1.5 mile on the way back was also a lot colder... Saw 5 deer and 11 other runners. The first three deer were the mom and two fawns from earlier this week (by location). She made the strangest noise when I saw her. Not used to hearing deer make noises. The middle three miles were on a different road than normal. It was HILLY!
