Quick 2.5 this morning. My interest is momentarily waning with the holidays coming up. I'll keep it on track, but I'm really starting to get interested in deer/hog hunting this fall.

QOTD 1: I'd rather be a fast runner. I read fast enough if it is something in which I am interested.

QOTD 2: I may run in the morning, but I will spend most of the weekend trying to kill a deer or a hog, most likely a hog. I checked a spot on my way to work this morning, and I have never seen as much sign as I did on that spot this morning. These hogs have absolutely ravaged the field. So, I hope my father in law and I can take a couple off of it this weekend. It is supposed to get pretty chilly, too. We should have some luck. I haven't deer or hog hunted in many years. The last hog I killed was up there, and I actually killed two hogs with one shot with a bow and arrow. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of what happened until the next day. I recovered the biggest hog and noticed I couldn't find my arrow. I figured it was just hidden by brush. My dad went back to the spot the next day to see if he could find it; he picked up a blood trail, and found the other pig about 40 yards down in the woods with the arrow still in it. I was focused on the big one I shot and didn't realize it had hit another one when it exited.

15 miles this morning.  It was like a summer day, low 70's and humid.  Nothing fast for me lately.

qotd1: a fast reader, I have to answer so many emails at work I'd be good if I could get thru them quicker.

qotd2: Flying to London later today so Fri night and Sat will disappear. Then I'll visit some friends there Sat night, run on Sun morning and then take in a museum in the afternoon. Then meetings Mon thru Wed.

Probably head out for about 4-5 miles. Another easy jog and walk. Hip is still bothering me. The weather is too nice to waste inside on the trainer.

Just got good news from DD. It sounds like she was able to move up the ladder at work. She had taken a job working in the kitchen at a hospital just to get her foot in the door.  Now she'll move to helping people order their food and coordinating the delivery of the meals or something like that.  Hmmmmmm........Since she still lives in my apartment maybe I can start charging her rent now .

LB2 - Happy hog hunting. Always wanted to hunt some. We have  a few pockets of them around up here but not too much. Game commission has a unrestricted status on them.  Shoot on sight with no license needed or restrictions on semi-auto guns.  Do you find them to be good eating or are they tough?

QOTD 1: Faster runner. I've always been a fast reader with above average reading comprehension. Opppsite of my running. In that department I think I'll always be a slow plodder. I would, however, like to be able to type faster then a snails pace.

QOTD 2:  It's my weekend to work so it will be work, work and more work. Three days in a row. Maybe I'll be able to get in a run everyday though.

I was not fast but I was fest Jamie.  Caught myself singing "it's starting to look a lot like Christmas" this morning. (festival)     I ran a completely uninspiring 4.4 this morning...dogs loved it.

QOTD:  Runner!!

QOTD2:  Suppose to rain all weekend so guessing indoors chores. Bring the ladder inside and clean everything high.   Maybe movie and lunch one day.  Need to get a long run in there.

AT:  An hour for a 5K for an 80 year old beginner...you're very optimistic.
