Today on the NCR: Groundhog! and Indian Pipe plants.
The groundhog was completely unconcerned that I was within 3ft. It actually moseyed right past me to get to a more luscious clump of greenery. It was nowhere near dusk yet.
The Indian Pipe plants were further up the trail. They are plants that lack chlorophyll, not fungi. I had never seen them in person before.

After my 3mi., I tried a quarter mile "sprint" of exhaustion. Did it in 2 min. exactly. But I can't maintain a pace like that for an entire mile yet.
