Lap 2 underway

Running:
I'm off and running towards completion of earth lap 2.  Actually October, November and December are usually my off season months for running.  I tend to run primarily just on weekdays during lunch.  Just enough miles so that when January training starts again I don't have to start all over.  Weekend days become reserved for hunting and remaining yard work and whatever other chasing is required.  After reaching the milestone earth lap on Tuesday I've run five miles each day during my lunch break.  I ran my usual five mile loop on Wednesday (42:08) and Thursday (40:44).  Today was raining pretty hard so I opted to stay in and run on the treadmill (40:00).   Since I'll likely not run again this weekend here are the totals through today.

Hunting:
All indications are the rut is close.  Notice all the dead deer on the side of the road all of a sudden?  I've seen deer even on my midday runs this week.  Activity is definitely picking up.  I'm looking forward to getting out the next couple days.  I hope the wind dies down before tomorrow morning.  It's really howling outside right now.  What will I do Sunday?  Watch the big game or go hunting?  I think hunting will win.


Gardening:
The leaves have really dropped the last few days.  With the wind right now I wouldn't be surprised to see them all off when it gets light in the morning.  Lot's of raking and blowing to do, but at least I should be able to get it done before it's real cold or we have snow on the ground.
