Sunday was one of the most athletic days I've had in awhile. I ran 3 miles, but I was slow. I walked twice and felt kinda lame. Then I had my first dog encounter on a run. It was a small dog that was ignoring me but as I passed it, the dog jumped on me while barking and dug its claws into my leg leaving me with a cut and a bruise (bruit? cruise?). Luckily it's claws didn't pierce my new running capris or I might have flipped out on its owner. But I will say that I have noted that people cop out of training small dogs quite often because they assume they are small and don't cause damage. Not true--train your pets, people. If you're too lazy to do so, then you shouldn't own an animal. (Rant over.)
The best part of the day was the 8.5 mile bike ride my fiance and I did along the River Trail where we live. We both recently got bikes, so this was our first time debuting them. Biking doesn't even feel like a workout--it's so much fun!
Today is technically my rest day, but I may take the bike out again since it's 84 degrees!
I'm going to attempt my own 2 or 3 mile lame run today. It's been over a week since my last run due to illness and injury, so this should be fun.
ReplyDeleteBiking intrigues me - I may have to look into it. It has been 20+ year since I've been on a real bike. scary! ha!
