Glad you didn't get bit. I wouldn't want you blaming your loss on a dog bite. I got bit back when I had a newspaper route by a dog I saw every morning. It was bizarre.So Sunday's run was interesting. I had gotten about 1/2 a mile from home on a route that I've run or walked probably hundreds of time. I cross a normal residential street, and all of a sudden I'm being chased by two dogs. The lead dog appears to be some kind of Pit Bull mix based on the shape of the head and jaws, but a bit shorter and stockier. His buddy looks like a beagle mix but a bit taller and longer. Both are barking like crazy and come up on me fast. Knowing that dogs have a strong predator/prey instinct, I stopped running and turned to face them. Both had collars and tags, so I at least knew I wasn't dealing with wild dogs. They circled me for a little bit as I stood there holding my ground. So I gave them one of those Crocodile Dundee animal mind tricks
and they backed off.
Soon the smell of a tree caught the beagle's attention and he pretty much forgot about me. I tried walking up the Pit Bull, but he was all bark and no action, turning and running into the street, circling the long way around me and back toward where they came from.
So, Andy, your pickup was Hulk Smashed, your dogs have been been reduced to whiney little puppies, and I'm still running. What else you got?
Ohhhh, can I bring my time to get into this corral?Well some of us other dads all got our corral assignments. We are all in the same corral. Seems we were all put in the bachelor pad corral . Well good luck to those of you that got a lettered corral.
Ummm.... let's not get crazy here.Oh Barry you are going to be so shamed !!!! You are starting in "B" ? Oh this is going to make Tims victory even sweeter!! I predict he passes you oh say about the 3/4 mark...Maybe they can move you up to the "A" corral so it gives you even more of a headstart.
Nice!!! WTG! I hope I see you guys there.Ohh thanks for that link too. I'm in "B" too.
Hope you are in B too.I was in H last year.
Oh, I'm running no matter what. I don't care what the doctor says... unless I am in a cast or something.Well, congrats on the longer runs and I'm glad it its getting easier. I hope you can get this pain taken care of, and most importantly, I hope it doesn't keep you from running in January.
I am running regardless. There is no way I've done all this running and not going to run in Jan.Yes That stinks.....
Hopefully you will get an answer and be able to deal with it and run.
Maybe that's what did it.Not sure what you said either but I am sure saying that it hurts and and you are running on it and have a race, indicating that you will continue to run on it may have given the scheduler some pause to fit you in.
Whatever it was, I'm glad they are getting me in.
Thank you.Good luck and I hope it is not a race stopper.
