     Back at the home in Milford today I took off in the rain that had been falling all morning. It was actually a nice time to run because it has been quite hot with high humidity the last few days. I just left without anything specific about where or how far I would run. About 1 1/2 miles from the house I found a nice single track trail that went up to the Milford Knob lookout. It was about a 500 ft climb in 1 1/2 miles but very nice and runnable all but 1/4 mile that was too  steep.Then, after running back down that trail, I found a gravel bike path that followed the Delaware river and ran that quite a ways. I saw a nice 10 point [eastern count] whitetail buck that must have been quite tame because he didn't move until I was15 feet from him then didn't act to worried. I stopped and though I might even be able to get him to come to me but he slowly wandered off. He was near some homes with huge yards surrounded by woods. I continued exploring and the miles added up until I had gone 12 by the time I got home. That was probably a bit farther than I should have got because my butt/hammy was a bit sore the rest of the day but it sure was an enjoyable run. The rain came down hard a few times but was mostly very light.
