Motion is Life ~ Cardio Work Out

Two days ago was a running day.

I’ve been getting a tad bored with the first mile stretch of my regular running route. It’s also the iciest and busiest little stretch of road – not a good combination right now. So, I decided to drive my car up to a more rural spot to begin my run and add a little variety.

What a nice little route! It ended up being 4.5 miles with some nice, rolling hills and not terribly icy.

BUT, there are some CRAZED dogs on that route!! Holy cow! Three different times, a large dog came charging out at the road toward me. One dog actually came after me right on the road. I scared the cr*p out him though!! My instantaneous fear and self-defense response was mixed with being seriously irked with the owners that they’d let this dog loose near the busiest stretch of road. I turned on that dog just as it was lunging for my arm – I’m not sure whose voice came out of me, but it was pretty scary! I heard the dog say, in dog talk, “Sheesh, lady… I’m outta’ here!!”

I wish I would have had the whole thing videotaped – I did one of those strange mid-air change of direction bodily contortions as I heard him at the last second! Good thing I’m married to a Chiropractor, ‘cuz I seriously subluxated myself with that unnatural move!

Today is another running day. I’ll either go a different route… or take a dog-zapper of some sort along with me!
