AM: 9 miles, averaged 8:03. Brandon and I ran around the Celery Bog, the Horticulture Park, and the cross country course. Lots of soft surface and changing terrain. We ran into a racoon, which stood its ground so we let it be (it hissed at us). When I turned back to see if it was gone it was still there, but looked like it was lying down or was very close to the ground in a crouch. We checked on him at the end of the run, coming up behind him and we noticed that his legs were splayed. Not sure what happened to him, but he was not in good shape. No one was at the Nature Center, so Brandon called parks and recreation. Had I been alone, I would have mustered all my Maine roots and helped the little fellow pass out of the world.
PM: Resthaven Cemetery - 5 miles, averaged 8:24
