back home

2 miles in 40 minutes, approximately a 20 minute mile including warm up. not a great time, but it's a starting point. have discovered that my neighborhood is sorely lacking in street lights and that the 25 mile per hour speed limit seems to be ignored after sundown, so will stick to the track after dark from now on. Also made an interesting discovery, the old saying about "they are more scared of you than you are of them" doesn't apply to deer in my yard. there is nothing better than surprising 2 fully grown, well antlered bucks eating the kudzu off your lawn in the pitch blackness to get the already accelerated heart a-pumping. CLEAR......flatline.......................
