Day 1764. Nightfall. Last night was a beautiful Fall night to run here in the Finger Lakes. No rain, but even with the seasonal rain we've been getting of late, Fall is a terrific season here in the Lakes region. About 38 when Fletch, Maggie and I got on the road and it's that point of the year where I'm wearing too much once I've gotten started; 2 long sleeve shirts, gloves, shorts, long wool socks, chilly at the start, but sweat-hot once we were moving. Darkness fell quick; there was a lot of traffic ofor oak Hill road but all three of us had some type of light on and that helped ID us. The new batteries in my Princeton Tec headlamp lite up several deer eyeballing us from a couple of fields including something hanging out in our pasture-woodline once we got home that had the mannerisms of something other than a deer buut I didn't get a real look at whatever it was.
Fletcher was all busy last night and we held a pretty good stride on both the downhill and the climb back up, traffic-forced pauses notwithstanding.
Good run after working on the barn/stable all afternoon and all that climbing PT.
