Slept in

Running:
Friday I was able to get out during my lunch break and get in an easy 7.5 in 1:02:20. Last night I was up a little later than I expected to be to watch the Packer game on TV so this morning I slept in a bit. If you call 6:00 sleeping in. Because of that I decided to do my long run on Sunday and just went out for 8.5 today. The sub 8 minute pace this morning (1:06:07) felt quite easy. One week from today I'm hoping to run a half marathon race. So next week will be a reduction in miles and a couple of days off. Not really a taper just a cut back week.

Hunting:
This morning I figured out where I'm going to hang another deer stand on my property. I cleared a bit of the brush from around the tree I'm going to use. More clearing will be required when I get the stand in place. I stopped yesterday to get a few of the free deer carcass tags available from the DNR. This will allow me to get a few extra deer this year if I happen to see them.

Gardening:
Last night after work I picked about 10 gallons of plums from one tree. There are probably about 5 more gallons not quite ripe yet. The branches were so heavy with fruit that one of the branches broke. Now to figure out what to do with all of them. Have to look into making jelly or something. Today will be getting started on the weekly lawn mowing chores and hopefully getting out to the garden to clean up a bit.
