1:02:41 (8:57/mi) Recovery Run.

Nice and easy today, with little difficulty keeping HR under recovery threshold up and down the hill. Smack in the middle of my recovery pace.

Despite the dire forecast, gorgeous conditions. Mostly sunny and 50+ instead of rainy, cloudy, and 40. Gotta love the NW!

Some 'tension' in my outer left leg. This seems to have moved around my left leg the past week...nothing that is causing me to worry too much (or stop running), but starting to make me wonder what's going on. Got some good stretching in again post run.

Ready for tomorrow's 10K. (Ready for everything except the 5am wakeup and the 2 hour drive to get there!).

On another note, my dog problem seems to have gotten fixed. She's been restrained to her property for the past 3 days straight now. I feel bad that she's on a line instead of running free, but do feel better than it's better odds I'll come home in one piece from here on out.

I'm glad the dog issue looks to be settled. And not just for your sake. The owners wouldn't have been in very good shape if the dog had attacked you, (or some little kid!). It's also safer for the dog! You did everyone a favor by making them be responsible pet owners!

Thanks. I know that deep down inside, but the pet lover in me doesn't like to see animals tied up...especially dogs used to roaming free. We've got ours in a big fenced in yard, ever since one led me on a 1.5 hour trek thru the surrounding forest looking for her when we first moved here, only to pop out behind me when I'd given up hope of tracking her down (tail wagging wildly, of course).

Anyway, problem solved WITHOUT the need to involve the county (was really really really trying to avoid that!), so I do feel like a good neighbor! Plus, now my HR doesn't spike on a particular part of my run anymore.

Good luck for your 10k today!

Thanks! It went well and I managed to PR on a not so easy as I'd thought course. All in all, a good day.
