Streaking check in 12/20

[juliabug]

Did you run today?

10 more days after you run today! Are you looking forward to a full rest day?

12ish for me this morning.

9 miles outside this morning. I felt slow. Being that I've already missed two streak days I guess it won't be that long between rest days.

I had an unhappy first today. I got bit by a dog while running. I was wearing nice UA tights and they didn't get a hole, so I figured it didn't break the skin. My leg kind of stung, but I thought it was partly due to the cold.

I got home and found I actually have several bloody gashes. It is starting to bruise some. How concerned do I need to be about this?

I don't know the people, but I've often seen these two dogs on my summer runs and they've never been aggressive beyond barking. (Only one of them bit me.) What say you H&F, do I need to go to the clinic?

Does your insurance have a nurse on call that you can ask? Do you know who owns them to find out if they are up to date on their shots?

I'm sorry that you got bitten. That sucks. At least your tights are in tact.

1 mile on the treadmill after yoga this morning.

I am really looking forward to a few rest days. If the weather is nice, I'll do a 5k race on Jan 4th. I haven't registered yet, I'm waiting on the forecast.

thom, I'd find out if its up to date on shots and inform the owners. They should be aware (if they aren't already) one of their dogs bit someone.

My mom got bit this summer on a run and apparently this wasn't the first time the dog had attacked someone and she filed a report with the police. I think she also needed to get a tetanus shot.

1 mile today.

I ran on the beach today! It's a gorgeous summer day here

@g22 and juliabug, thanks ladies. I appreciate the dose of rational advice. I just felt paralyzed about what to do on this, probably because I'm such a dog lover.

And yes about the tights! My silver lining was at least they don't have a hole.

No absolutely I get it. I hate when owners let pets run free and this happens, because it totally their fault. But its now a safety issue since the dog bit you

My mom started carrying a tiny thing of mace now on her runs, just in case. She also lives out in the country and runs on non-busy roads, like you.

I'm glad your tights are OK though!

Catching up on my posts today sorry. Had company in the morning and only got the min 1 mile I that afternoon as I started feeling "off". Ended up sick that night.
