Notes
I don't remember the exact time, I'll have to look at my watch. I ran poop castle, but I cut it short. There was a pitbullish dog, probably a mix and probably a girl but still iffy. Anyway, poop castle loops back on itself and so every minute, I'd run by the dog and hear it sprinting towards me through the woods. When I was running away it stayed still. I figured it's owner would call it eventually or it would feel nervous and not go too far from home, so I wasn't worried. After about 3 loops it was 10 feet away from me and getting closer if I ran away. So I turned and stared at it and yelled a couple times. It was breathing heavily through it's nose, which doesn't make a dog seem friendly. So I was slightly wary. Eventually it averted it's eyes and sniffed some things so I walked for 10ish feet and then ran again. After that though I didn't want to pass the dog again so I cut the run short and went back to the main trail. I wasn't afraid of the dog, but I was definitely wary and I'd much rather avoid a possible dog attack then get bitten proving I'm not afraid of dogs.
On the way back I tripped on a cable in the ground under the powerlines. Didn't really get hurt, except for my left hand which is pretty sore. It was also pretty weird not stopping at our traditional stops. I stopped for maybe 3 minutes with the dog, but other than that ran the whole way.
