78F to start, 83F finish.  Started in darkness, but the lack of shade made it feel hotter in the last few miles when the sun rose.  Anyway, I took it mostly easy today so no big deal - 7:57 AP.

Gotta remember not to run down that section of Wildcat road anymore.  Every single residence had 2 or 3 dogs running loose and it was a competition to see who could be the biggest nuisance.  The winner was this tiny, prissy white dog who almost nipped my heel.  The houses there are spaced out every quarter-mile or so, but it was a 2+ mile stretch...

Nice running in the heat, those yap-yap dogs are fast, in my opinion.

They are fast and seemingly bolder, but usually tire out sooner.

I biked by a house yesterday and about 3 or four big dogs came after me. One came right up and snapped at my foot. I couldn't kick him or anything since my foot was clipped into the pedal. I really though I was going to get bitten. I was actually going pretty fasy when I came up on them and thought I'd just zoom right past them but quickly found out that they can run about as fast as I can ride. I may take my airsoft pistol next time I ride by that house :-)

That reminds me of that Aerosmith video. Only with yapping dogs instead of hot desperate house wives at each house.
