8 MILES!

I had planned on running 7 miles this morning.  I made it 2.5 and a very hungry looking pitbull decided to terrify me by running up with his hair all spiked up, drooling.  EEK!  My life flashed before my eyes and I was running through my mind all the things I'd ever read about showing dogs that you are unafraid (even though I was shaking).  I was blessed to be near a friends house and VERY slowly walked there with my new "friend".  She distracted the ravenous beast long enough for me to leave and continue on my run.  It was a glorious morning!  I saw a momma duck with her little brood and she hissed at me to protect her precious babies.  After the pitbull incident, she didn't scare me a bit.  ;)  The sky was overcast, it was cool, and I decided that I don't like odd numbers - went for 8 and DID IT! Woo Hoo!
