Dog Issues…..What the Heck??

Okay, First….Exercise

I’m really glad I set this goal to run ONE mile everyday this month. It’s getting me out the door everyday, and it feels good to be accomplishing this goal. I seem to now comfortably run a 12 minute mile. Nothing speedy, just a casual jog. My heart rate gets up and I feel good about it. I did decide to try and pick up my pace a bit before the end of the month. I ran with a friend the other day and she pushed me to go a little faster. We did our mile in 9:50! As much as I hated it, it did feel good. I was hoping to get in a 10:00 minute mile by the end of June, and it happened! Yay! Yesterday on my run, I decided to see if I could improve my pace while running by myself. I did it in 9:58! As happy as I was about that, I still don’t like it.

Now…..Dog Issues….

What the heck? I’m dog people!! I LOVE dogs!! Why are they coming at me lately?  I’m definitely exercising outside on a more regular basis. Does this happen to everyone that exercises outside regularly?? Crap. Is exercising outside bad for me? Is it dangerous?? Maybe.

Yesterday evening, I left the house with my phone in one hand to time my run, and my squirt bottle full of water in my other hand, to ward of mangy dogs. I carried my newly purchased, miniature air horn on a couple of runs, but I decided I was more comfortable with a little squirt bottle full of water. My dog trainer confirmed for me, that a harmless squirt of water in the face, would likely scare off any approaching dogs.

I ran my mile, and then decided to do the route again, and walk it. As I headed home, literally six houses away from my house, here comes this hairly little weiner dog of some sort! He was barking and growling like CUJO!! I stopped in the middle of the street, pointed my squirt bottle at the little $%@$&#!! Then I said…..”Don’t you even THINK about it you little @#$%!!! I’ll shoot you right in the face!!” The little guy just kept coming at me growling something fierce!! So…I shot him. I shot the little weiner dog with my squirt bottle full of water, and he yelped and ran away. I’m yelling….”That’s right you little piece of #$%&! You better run before I shoot you again!”

Then I walked home.
