I think it's only a matter of time before I run into a deer at full speed. No, not in my car, I mean literally run into one. Last week it was on a bike ride that Mead, who was riding only a bike length and a half ahead of me came within a few meters of hitting a deer.
On Sunday during an 8 mile run, I was running on a path parallel to the W&OD and cresting a hill I came face to face with a deer. Startled, it bolted toward the W&OD where a bike narrowly passed by before the deer took off.

Today during my 3 mile run in some dense, narrow forest trail I came upon 3 full grown deer, one with very large antlers. I had to halt and let them pass. The largest Buck contemplated his move carefully before he fled.
Dear deer, If you are reading this, I am not trying to hunt you down, nor do I care to collide with you. Please stay off the running paths.
