Total Far Side moment on this morning's run. Saw a deer trip over a fence and do a complete somersault before running away. She's fine, but obviously embarrassed. It was hilarious. During the run I starting planning a possible race to benefit our school sometime in the future. We live in Blue Creek and the next community over is Duck Creek. We could start at the Yellowstone River, run up the hills past my house and over a gravel road to Duck Creek, ending at the Yellowstone River. Would be tough but a good challenge. Could wrap in a fun run and 5K/10K at the starting line. I'll keep thinking about it and talk to some folks who've organized races before.

Anyhow, nice run this morning. Perfect weather. Wore a long sleeve tech shirt and my hands were cold part of the time but not frozen. It's a nice steady climb mostly on a gravel road. On the way back wind was behind so warmed up a bit but not too much.

AP 8:54. Splits 9:41, 9:09, 9:03, 10:05, 9:41, 9:10, 8:25, 7:23, 8:37, 8:32, 8:15. Avg HR 149, Max HR 169.
