7 mile run today. I woke up at 5am and did 20 minutes of Pilates before heading out. I feel really good about today's run because it was the first run over 5 miles that I have maintained an 11 min/mile or faster pace for the entire 7 miles. I also had another "first" on this run: I had to use my pepper spray to ward off two raging pit bulls that jumped a fence to chase me. My heart was pounding out of my chest! It took 3+ sprays at one of the dogs to get them to back off, but I'm so thankful I had the spray with me. Otherwise I'd probably be getting stitches in the ER right about now.
When I got home I did level 1 of Yoga Meltdown.
A mother's journey from non-runner to marathoner. If I can do it, anyone can...so get out there and run!
Oh my gosh! I was just thinking about your pepper spray for some random reason, you know those stupid thoughts at night that keep you awake. I'm glad you were safe. Those owners need a bigger fense. Strong work on the 11min pace! Excellent!
