Weekend randoms

[Wines Not Whines]

1. I tried the chocolate peanut butter Gu today. It's as good as it sounds. If you like the regular chocolate and PB flavors, you'll like this one. Sadly, it's labeled as limited edition.

2. My legs are ombré. I've been wearing two different lengths of running shorts, so now my legs are 3 different colors. It's hawt.

My legs and arms are like this and living in fl with shorts and tanks 99% of the time, I look ridiculous lol
but I see it as my way of showing off my hard work lol

I put this in the other randoms thread, but it was 94% humidity for my 6 miles this morning. Same weather predicted for tomorrow's 12 miler. Clseale is not pleased.

Yum, & mine too!

More ombré legs checking in here. I feel like a weirdo at the beach. I go to the beach/pool almost as many times per week as I run outside. How has it not evened out yet? I have a perma-sport bra too.

I just came in here to post that it was 93% for the 12 miler I just finished. It is ungodly humid; summer is officially here.

[runaways]

I always wear the same shorts so my legs have a distinct line, and I definitely have the perma-tan line from my sports bra. But my stomach is dead white. It's kind of ridiculous looking.

I jumped in the pool after my 12 miles this AM and it was freezing, but awesome post run. My legs feel the best they have felt all week.

Now I'm waiting for friends to meet us for brunch. They better hurry up cause I want a mimosa.

I wasn't going to run this morning, but forced myself out the door since the humidity wasn't bad yet....less than a mile into it I got bit by a stupid yappy dog and I'm now spending my morning in the ER. Irresponsible owners piss me off.

I hope you are okay! This makes me so mad! Was it leashed?

[kellydelq]

I wore shorts for the first time running this morning and chaffed so bad, time to invest in some body glide! But I am now sitting in the pedi chair at a new salon getting my first one in months and it's glorious!

[cinco]

I did the post run pool dip too! My favorite thing about Summer running. I did 5 x 800 this morning and it was 10 seconds slower than the last time I did them in March. Womp womp. BUT, I did them with a 400 jog in between and never stopped running. That is huge for me b/c I sometimes just walk around, drink water , twiddle my thumbs. Basically anything to get a breather. I am excited I have 3 5k's within the next month so I can skip intervals for a while.

Me and the baby are visiting some family friends in Arkansas. I went for a run this morning. It was hilly and humid. Halfway through a pitbull ran up to me barking scared the crap out of me. I eventually realized she was nice and then she started following me. I thought she would go back. I kept telling her to. Finally I realized she wasn't going to turn back and that she was going to have to run with me.

So we ran together the next 3-4 miles until I got back to my friends place. I put the baby down for a nap and then jumped in the car with the dog who was waiting outside. I drove her back to her house dropped her off and drove off.

Interesting morning. First time I've run with a doggy. It was kind of fun.

[clseale]

Wheeeee! Pretty new shoes! They feel as fast as they look.

No. There was a pack of 3 tiny dogs running in the road. I kept my eye on them as I approached & 1 just barked at me. I got past them and another ran up on me and bit me at the top of my calf. Luckily there were some officers patrolling the neighborhood. I filed a report, the found the owners. Owner was cited for letting her dogs run loose and ACS picked up the one that bit me to check for disease. Just left the ER with a tetanus booster & Rx for antibiotics. I'm glad I didn't have my dog with me---who knows what would have happened. We've lived on this neighborhood for a month now and the way people around here treat their dogs pisses me off. Another big dog was chained to a tree earlier this week--it charged at me & my dog and broke off the chain! Luckily it didn't follow us.

I looked at my pumping (breastmilk) totals in my tracking app, and in the past 3 months alone, I've spent 98 hours pumping. Over 4 days of my life this spring have been spent pumping milk.

Seems kind of crazy when I think of it like that. Hopefully his kiddo gets an immune system of steel, lol.

This is me too. All my shorts hit the same length, but I wear compression socks occasionally. So my thighs and knees are darker than my calfs, which are still darker than my upper thighs that rarely see sun. lol

And I have a permanent racerback "tan" from my sports bras and tank tops. Tan is in quotes because compared to anyone else, I'm really not tan. Haha

Ouch! How serious is it? My mom had this happen to her recently and apparently it wasn't the first time that dog had attacked someone I hate irresponsible owners too.

ETA: I just saw your update. I'm glad it wasn't serious but still. I hate when owners let their dogs run loose around the neighborhood. I've had one of my dogs attacked before (the owner was there thank goodness) and so it always make me super wary of that. Whether the owner is there or not, I don't trust unleashed dogs if I don't know them. And I'm a huge dog lover.

i also have permanent shorts lines & it carries on through winter.

I ran 5 miles this morning and then met my SIL to walk another 4.5. my feet are more tired from the walking than the running.

and the humidity is terrible. It's now officially time to start jumping in the lake post-long runs!!!

I was bit by a dog on a run one time, a lab mix.  Literally bit me right below the butt cheek 
ACS had to check the rabies vax and the family had to quarantine him for a week to ensure he didn't show any signs of rabies.  He came running up, wagging his tail, all happy and then bit me!  (and i'm the biggest dog lover!)

It will be sore - take care of yourself.

OOooo I love new shoes! I just ordered new ones this week and they aren't here yet. I'm getting impatient! I want my new shoes!

[andrealynn]

One benefit to being nearly albino is that you don't get tan lines. Lol.

I really want a brownie. I was considering getting one at Starbucks, but I hate how it costs the same for one brownie there as a whole box would be. But, then I would have (and therefore eat) an entire pan of brownies. Conundrum.

DH is outside putting mulch down in the garden. He keeps asking me how the hell I ran today because it's so gross, lol

Omg, that sucks!!! I hope you're doing ok.

Same thing happened to me last year with a Pomeranian. Owner was a total douche and I had to call ACS to get involved too.

[jreeds]

Did my first double digit run this morning! Under 9:50 min mile for the run! Feeling pretty proud

Thanks for the shoe excitement! It's a brand new shoe to me, but I'm hopeful!

So sorry about the dog, elletr13 ! How scary. Everything about that makes me angry!!
