Notes
Yep, another 12 miler; not really sure what I'm trying to do right now, but it's coming naturally at least. Started a horseshoe route from my house to drop Rachel back at hers at about 6.5 miles, from there I didn't want to run back past my place so I basically did the same horseshoe back for 12. I was even feeling good enough to do many a stride the last couple miles (this did, wear me out finally).
P.S. Since others are talking about baby animals, I do have an adorable/somewhat sad story from today. On the singletrack trail, I came upon a doe and the most babiest of fawns. They were running away from me but staying on the trail. The fawn could barely run and eventually stopped, so I tried to just walk gingerly by but immediately the fawn collapsed into a cower - trying hard to stay as low and still and invisible as possible. I felt horrible for causing that reaction, but I couldn't help but smile due to the cuteness.
