Garmin battery died just as I was leaving the driveway. So I just got to run. Felt good. A few little knee-twangs, but it didn't stop me at all. I think I may just need to get back on the strength training physical therapy bandwagon. I just don't like having to do it in the mornings before I run because I have to wake up 20 minutes earlier, and at this point I refuse to wake up earlier than 4:30.
So maybe I can remember to do my training stuff in the evenings.
It was cool outside this morning. My coldest morning out yet. I had my jacket on w/o the sleeves and with gloves on. The perfect warm-enough combination except for my thumb that was on the outside of my water-bottle carrying hand. It froze out there in the cold all by itself. 39-40 degrees, 80% humidity.
If anger could kill, I would have a dead dog on my hands today. I get so tired of the same dog running out into the road after me every day. I yell at it, and it stops, but then when I turn back and keep running, it runs after me again. My pepper spray is out of juice. I wish the people would just keep the dog in their yard. Why do you let your dog run loose when you live on a 55 mph road? Invisible fence, or something. Maybe I should focus my anger on the owners and see if that gets me any results. They were outside today and heard me yelling "NO!" at their dog. They were whistling for him to come back. Whistling...really?????
Glad the run went well. Wish Monday could be over already. |
