Weather cloudy

Goal  distance track

Challenges deer crap beside track , 2 loose dogs had run over to see what I was doing laying the track

And later as we were near the end 

It felt good

3 things he did well 

Didn’t notice the deer crap 

Last turn to the straight finish was beautiful 

As the loose dogs came back they were a distance away but in our line of sight, he didn’t notice had his nose plowed to the ground

Improve on

Get better at my double lines
