Met up with Larry, Wayne, and Kevin and headed to Cascade. Larry's Australian shepherd Ozzie lagged behind us as we crossed 1600 N shortly into the run and was hit by car. This was the second time I've seen him hit on a run. The first time he walked away from hit. Amazingly, he also walked away from this one, even though he was hit solidly and was knocked clear into the gutter. Kevin went for his vehicle to haul Ozzie home and Ozzie actually jumped into the back of his SUV. I'm sure he'll be sore, but he seemed okay. Larry drove him home and told us to go ahead with the run. Lyle was running just behind us when Ozzie was hit and joined us for the run. I went 6 miles @ 9:28/mi. Wayne and Kevin were out in front, and on the way back Lyle also pulled well ahead of me. I really struggled at the end of the run. I felt like I was finishing 16 miles instead 6 miles. Maybe I was channeling Ozzie...I sort of felt like I'd been hit by a car. Oh well, at least I got some good "keep going when you feel dead" training in this morning. |
