AM 8. 6 deer, nothing else

Lunch- frisbee. My team was playing horribly most of the first part. Well, both teams were, but moreso mine. Then the game started and we won 5-3. So it goes. Seemed to be more running today, or I was more tired than usual.

PM- Everyone else was busy, so I ran solo at Paris Mtn. Figured I might as well go early and run in the light, so left work at 2:15. 70 deg when I started- nice weather, but I was thirsty the whole time (didn't bring water bottle). Ran the usual full loop plus a bit more. Lots of people on the trails. I think our normal 4:30-ish start time has us at a sweet spot when the dayhikers are gone but the evening mountain bikers aren't out yet, so we often go an hour seeing no one. Very slow run today.

Lunch- it was Aaron's last day at GE so I joined the LR group for only the second time this year. Of course, it was chilly and pouring rain but there were still 10 guys. The group certainly has not changed (I was quickly reminded by some of the crude discussion). Ran an hour, then we all went to Chipotle together. I like Aaron- hopefully I'll still see him at PM.
