I swear I was almost a goner while running a regular training route earlier this week. Big dog - has been chained up every other time (more than 3 dozen times this year alone) I've run by the house. That day it wasn't.
Came within just a couple of feet - I'm yelling, screaming "get your dog" to nobody in particular when what must have been a 6-year-old girl walks out the front door and in a squeaky little voice says, "come here (stupid dog's name that I forget)".
I felt like a fool - the hungry monster wanted to eat me but would obey the sweet commands of a child. So, instead of mace or a baseball bat, I now carrying with me a recording of Billy Gillman. Think it'll work?
That is the second time in my life a dog had me if he wanted me; the other time was earlier this year on Cash Valley Road (a big Rottweiler). Both times I was allowed to pass unscathed but I sweated a bit more because of it...
scary stuff

Getting chased by a dog is one of the best ways to trick yourself into doing speedwork. I can honestly say, that I've never been chased down and bitten by a dog. The last time I was chased by a dog, Jordan was in and I saw a puff of smoke and Jordan was 200 meters down the road. Luckily, there were other people around who witnessed this time-warp feat.
Still leaves me scared thinking about how hard Dan and I were running and before the nerve impulses in my brain could make it to my legs to tell them "DOG - speed up", Jordan was already gone like the roadrunner.
