Bunny the Cow

38:52. Last half was 2:52. My run was in the dark and with a turnaround every quarter. Since I got out the door late I was tired and didn't want to run. But at the end of the run I didn't want to stop running! I am just very grateful for running and how it always boosts my mood. Running seems to be the only thing that is that effective at clearing my mind from negative thoughts and getting overwhelmed. So grateful to have practically free therapy!

40:04. I ran in the late morning because I went to bed late from running at night. It was super hard, I haven't ran in the daytime in a week I think and it made me so exhausted. I am just super happy I even finished the run. I stopped a lot though. The heat makes it extremely hard for me. Probably a little dehydrated also. 

It is very sad that I didn't run today. Most of it was my fault, I needed to prioritize my run and get out the door. Some days I am not allowed to run in the dark and I didn't feel like it would be safe tonight (also I am afraid of a lot of things so that doesn't help). Today I was just already tired and felt well exercised. Yesterday was the first day of dance in over a month. I am not over trained, but I need more rest.

39:56. Last quarter was 1:26. I still need to do better at staying hydrated the day before. Had to stop a lot to drink water. Probably should have some more electrolytes too.

1 in the morning-around 7:55. I got chased by two dogs in one mile! The first one was like twice my size and started charging and barking at me, I screamed at it and that did the job. But still, the dog was very aggressive and it felt very unsafe. Less than half a mile later I got chased by a tiny dog. Just decided to stop and try to kick it, luckily didn't have to. I hate dogs more than anything on this earth!! Since I live in a really nice neighborhood I should not feel unsafe every day. I guess someone on a neighby trail got attacked by two dogs the other day. I don't know why this is even happening when it is so easy to prevent. 
After dance class at night I ran 4 more in 31:55. Last quarter was 1:28. Felt good but was very tight. Luckily no more stupid dogs.

Late evening in Orem, after dance class. First 2 in 16:35. Basically all downhill 5:50 mile with William, half mile was 2:57. It felt very good, I am just happy that I am not overtrained and I'm getting stronger. 9:02 mile with them, then 8:56 with William, then 8:14 by myself.
