Got up early to read The Times. Have a stew in the slow cooker, all but one load of laundry done. On my way to work.  The plan is to go in to check email and try something, then get miles in while waiting for a response.  The sun is shining and want to get out in it while I can.  Evening comes too quickly this time of year. 

I ended up leaving at 3:30 so that I could get my miles in before dinner.  I went across the street to Waterfall Glen and did one of their smooth and wide paths which is part of the Route 66 bike path.  Picked the one that was 1.4 miles (not realizing that they only measure one way.) There had been a sign that the preserve was closing an hour before sunset for deer management so I went my fastest time yet and finished in < 30 minutes.
