Runs With Deer
Every morning that I do early runs I feel like my life is a movie. You know the movie "Dances with Wolves", I'm living "Runs With Deer". I went out about 6:15 this morning and the neighborhood deer decided I was a good running partner. Five of them (one buck, two does and two young'uns) kept pace with me for a while. It's always kind of surreal to have deer running beside you in the dark. I figure they won't mess with me since I'm a provider of food for them. Mess with me bud and I pull the Sweet Potato vines right out of the yard and you can go elsewhere for your candy! (Okay, maybe that won't work but as long as it isn't rutting season nobody gets too aggressive.
Today's run put me at 214 miles for the year.
In water news... I spent a bunch of money yesterday and bought an Aqualung Lotus i3 BCD, an Aqualung Legend LX regulator, a Suunto SK7 compass, and a Suunto Di6 computer. I just need water and a tank of air and I'm ready to go. Oh and a wetsuit because I'm a wimp and I don't want to be cold.
Next diving day is October 14th. Doing a navigation class, a search and recovery class (learn how to bring up that underwater treasure we find lol) and a Peak Performance Buoyancy class to tweak my buoyancy with my new gear.But until then I'm back to the pottery. More stuff fired last night and I'm ready to glaze and load again. Busy season for the kiln. The grandchildren probably feel neglected.

I think I'll stick to using a sideways snorkel in the shower. Uh, do the grandchildren know about Hanzel and Gretel? Actually, I would not be surprised to see a little gathering outside your studio with signs held aloft: Fewer Pots. More Cookies
Awesome! I wouldn't mind trying to run? How did you begin?
Two Questions:
What date is your half?
Did you watch the debates? Dare I ask for any thoughts?
