Time 01:40:03 Avg 10:00 5:30am I guess I didn't need to go that early. I was a little nervous being alone. I brought my music and used it at first and then it got on my nerves. The music is noise and the ear plugs were bugging me and the cord wouldn't stay put and I wanted to chuck it all. I'm not taking it again. I don't need it anymore. I was less scared being able to hear what's going on around me. I also enjoy hearing the sounds of nature around me now more than I do my music. I can't believe I'm saying this. I used to think people who ran without music were crazy. Well, that's me now. It was a good run. I went the usual but instead of turning up toward Dimple dell I went straight toward Sego Lily. I should have stayed up there longer. I underestimated in the end and had to run around Falcon Park more than I wanted to but... anyway, so I went toward Sego Lily and then turned around and went back to 98th(I think) and went down (it turns into Petunia). At the bottom of the hill, I turned left and went into that neighborhood for a while. When I was almost out to Petunia and on the home stretch I noticed a golden lab dog just hang'in out and pranc'in around up ahead. Then I see this other stupid, dumb-ass boxer/pitbull (they all look the same to me. SCARY) racing down the sidewalk toward the other dog and then it turns and comes towards me and I freaked because I'm totally scared of dogs (I've been bit twice, broken skin, blood, shots, the works) and I'm sure he can sense this. It's not MY fault. I didn't get scared until HE decided to charge me. I seriously thought he was going to bite my leg so I kicked back (the air, didn't touch the dog) and said "GIT!" I know...I'm sure he was so scared of me. I guess I need a lesson on how to deal with this. I looked for the closest house to run to and saw a car pulling out of the driveway and I started waving my arms to get their attention. I was praying and cussing while the dog circled me and snarled his teeth at me. I tried to start running again and he followed me. I didn't want to just run off and have him take a chunk out of my calf. I was about to walk up to this car that was trying to back out right where I was standing with the dog and the dog took off. Thanks HEAVENS! This was about mile 8 and I ran home pretty fast after that. Sure wish Lysa would have been with me to save me from the dog! She likes dogs and is good with them. She comes home today! I've missed you Lys!
