Dang Dogs! Had a run in with another dog today right at the first mile marker, so it was still very dark and we were both very much still asleep. Well we were wide awake after this encounter. The boxer type dog came running out from in between two cars in a drive way and got close enough to Meg that she could have easily touched it. Meg almost jumped in my arms and I let out a bit of a shout and then a few more rantings loud enough for all the neighbors to hear at 5:00AM Heee Heee Heee!!! Too bad Meg didn't have her pepper spray at the ready, that dog needed a real good dousing. Anyway, we made a pit stop at home to grab the cell phone and made a call to animal control. I doubt anything will come of it cause we never saw the dog again on any of our other laps around the neighborhood. Maybe the neighbors heard my shouting.......oh well!
The run felt great, the foot is feeling much better and I am looking forward to testing it out on a really good 20+ miler tomorrow. I think our plan is to run for 3 hours or 20 miles, which ever is longer. I suspect we will end up running closer to 22 miles but we'll just have to see how it goes. I am planning to throw in 5-10 miles at marathon pace or faster (hopefully closer to 10 than 5 depending on how I am feeling).
Time: 1:01:08 8:44/mile
