Hate the "mill"

Running:
Wednesday I was able to get out for my run during my lunch break. I managed 8 miles in 1:00:45. It was cool and cloudy but a real good day for a run. I broke out the tights and a long sleeve shirt for the first time this fall. Today was just a real nasty day. There was rain or drizzle all day. I opted to stay in for my run today. I ran on the treadmill at work. Did I ever say how much I dislike the "mill". Anyway I did 5 miles in 40 minutes. I'm now somewhere around 60 miles away from my first earth lap. I hope to make it by the end of October.

Hunting:
Today started a special gun season for antlerless deer. This season runs for four days. I managed to get home from work in time to get out for the last hour or so of light. Because of the earn-a-buck rules in place in this part of the state I'm really hoping to put my tag on an antlerless deer before the rut kicks in and bow hunting gets serious. How sad would it be to have to pass up that big buck because I didn't have my "buck sticker". I would not be happy.

Gardening:
A nasty day today and little time for gardening. I have a few chores that are lining up to get done before the weather gets too cold. There will be lots of leaves to clean up too, once they turn and start to fall. Most of the leaves are still way to the green side around here yet. The wind over the past week did knock some down before they turned. I did notice that the gutters need to be cleaned from the ones that have come down.
