I drew an 8K course at Clinton because I wanted to be out for 2 hours on this beautiful day. I took it slow, trying to be careful and accurate. Around 5, I began to suspect that the course was not really 8K. I realized I made the rookie mistake of 1:15 vs 1:10 in Purple Pen, so the course was really 6K. I missed 7 a bit (I had a feeling after I left and was confirmed when I hit the road). I got mentally tired and hungry near the end. I took a few routes that would not be ideal in a race but were more interesting for today.
At one point, I scared up two sleeping deer. They moved less than 20 feet away and then stopped and looked at me. So tame now!

Dancing to the oldies to get my daily total to 2 hours and my weekly total to 5.
