Yesterday I ran 3 miles outside. It was way windy, which made it a lot less fun to run. I also took both the dogs with me. I could only find one choke chain so I got an arm workout as well (from trying to control pulling dogs). My first mile went great but as soon as I hit a mile I had to stop to take the choke chain off my dog and put it on my roommate's dog. Then, when I hit mile 2, Buddy decided he was done running and sat down, slipping his collar. After I caught him and put his collar back on, the last mile went great. I felt like I could have easily run a mile or two more (we'll see Sunday - I have a 4 miler...) I only added 2 minutes to my time, which I think is pretty great considering all the interruptions from the dogs.
So recap ... today 3 miles in 32.04
Note to self, buy another choke chain if I'm going to run with both dogs again. I think I will though because I got so much love from both dogs all night after I got home!
Also, for anyone reading...when you see a runner on the road DO NOT speed up and drive like you're aiming to hit them and turn away at the last second. This happened to me yesterday and it really scared me. What was this guy thinking!?!?
I woke up this morning to 3 inches of snow on the ground, so again I'm glad its my rest day because I'm not sure how running in the snow would go. It might be fun, though. Who knows?
