6 am 68 degrees--humid...I made the mistake of wearing a cotton skirt today (usually okay when it is cooler) but it was humid and I forgot to wear body glide....so yeah my thighs are burning.

I ran with the yellow dog...things went much better as far as him listening. Unless I walked...then he wanted to pull so needless to say there wasn't much walking today except for when I wanted relief from my chub rub.

There is a black dog that I see on this route and the neighbors have told me to be wary of this dog. So of course he was out along with the other dog so he came up to my dog and they almost got in a scuffle. But I yelled at the dog and kicked him away and things were better. Oh and I yelled, "come get your dog" but no one was around. I have never seen the owners of this dog...

I got new shoes in the mail. Mizuno Precision. They are a little shinier than I thought they would be. I guess I have to muddy them up. They were okay on todays run.

My foot still hurts so it is hard to gauge how comfy the shoes are since my foot already hurts.

 

Happy running

Good job handling the dogs. Chafing is no fun. I hope your foot gets better soon.

That seems to be the latest in running shoes - shiny!

At least you're a responsible pet owner! Glad the dog didn't cause too much trouble

I was just thinking about it...I'm glad I smacked my foot b/c ever since then I have had no shin pain or side stitches...I guess now that my body can focus on 'real' pain the fake stuff goes away.

My boyfriend looked at my shoes and said, "my you have some bling bling!" I'm like yeah well...a little mud will much them up..
