Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

5.8 miles in 63 minutes.  It would have been faster but I got BITTEN BY A DOG.  I was just jogging along down a dirt road when two large dogs came running at me from their yard.  I threw my arms up to push them off but they were circling around and on got behind me and bit me in the back of the right thigh.  I was screaming but the homeowners never came out of the home.  I just kept backing down the road and finally the dogs left me alone and returned to their  yard.  Of course this is out in the sticks where there are not a lot of people around so I walked to the next neighbors house a few minutes down the road and they had heard me screaming.  They said that same dog had bitten their kid about a month back.  Anyways I talked to them for a minute and then finished running home.  My husband called the sherriff and we made a report.  I have learned my lesson.  Now I will be sure to carry mace or something like that. The bite broke the skin but I'm not missing a chunk of flesh or anything.  Guess I'll be going to get a tetanus shot tomorrow.  I am wondering if a fanny pack is feasible to carry mace and maybe a cellphone when you are running?

you got bit by a dog!!! oh my! what happened after you made the report?

Oh NO! I'm so sorry you got bit! I carry pepper spray in a container than straps to my hand. I feel pretty good about it because it is so easily accessable.

I can't believe that the sheriff didn't do anything! Pepperspray is a good idea. I have thought about carring some myself. I will have to revisit the idea.
