This 700 thing is working well: I've just exceeded last year's total mileage.

Well done switts. Being uninjured probably helps too :)

I think I'm on for my worst mileage since 2012 :-o

Today has started so badly I’m actually mildly confident it will improve

Afternoon.
Back at work today. Eating properly again :)
Not sure if I have enough energy for exercise yet though so I'll wait until tomorrow for that.
Sounds like an excellent holiday, Teebs :)
Hugs, Dipps xx

Oh Dipps, me too!

For the first time in my life I have been bitten by a dog!!!
Running along the towpath, owner had stopped to pick up dog poo, dog sitting apparently calmly, looking towards me. As I ran past it attacked.

Vile owner didn't apologise, said she couldn't deal with a retractable lead and pick up poo at the same time, then blamed me for scaring the dog!!! When I pointed out it had bitten me, she said "what do you want? Stitches?" Just didn't care one bit.
I felt completely helpless, there was no way she was going to give her details, and even if she had I had no way to record them. Over a mile from nearest road and I had no phone with me.
Just wanted to get away, so once it was evident she couldn't be reasoned with, I ended up run/walking back to the car.

And now I'm generally running late with far too much to do before school run, swimming lessons, cooking dinner etc etc. I would cry but don't have the time or energy 😥

That's awful, TM. I think you should report to the police anyway - describe owner, dog and location. I doubt they will track her down but at least they have a record and if she does it again, they will have more evidence.

Horrible experience for you. I am always cautious around dogs as some are programmed to chase (esp collies and gun dogs) and owners are often not on the ball or not able to control their dogs. But it really should not be us who have to slow down and stop.

Ugh TM I got that with a Jack Russell owner - took up the whole path and then blamed me for scaring dog when it jumped and bit me. I walk past dogs now with as wide a berth as possible but I’m not sure it was my behaviour that really needed to change
