Kind of a warm morning. Temperature in the low 70's and humidity above 60 percent. Venus and a couple of stars were visible just above Mt. Mahogany as I was heading out. The days are definitely getting shorter. My back was a little sore starting out and was even a little sore when I finished. Felt pretty good for the most part and pushed it even a little harder than usual the last mile or so. Saw the kids from AF run by as I was coming up the path behind the high school. Counted 31, but there might have been more out ahead. Couldn't tell at that distance whether they were girls and boys or just girls. Ran into some deer just before that, which only reluctantly moved off the path to let me pass. Saw quite a few people along the creek path this morning including the Leavitts, Lloyd and Sister Davis from the 3rd ward. |
