Hey guys ... just got back from SIL's pool birthday party.

Very nice BuckeyeChamp!!

Erika, my schedule called for a 25-26 mile run so I figured why not 26.2 and just to be safe that I really ran a full marathon distance I ran until Garmin said 26.5.  I'm training for the AF marathon in 6 weeks.  I've got one more long run until the taper!

Thanks for the concern everyone, after the dog chased me and bit me, I did ask the owner if the dog was up on his rabies shots and he said that he was current on all of his shots.  I continued running for another 50 yards or so and then thought just to be on the safe side I better go back and verify it.  They showed me his collar with the rabbies vaccination and apologized a couple of times.

DH was surprised too that I wasn't really upset.  Don't get me wrong, it wasn't fun but I'm not sure what else I should do.  I guess I'm more frustrated than upset that it interupted my stride.  The other frustrating part is that I ALWAYS continually looking for dogs and plan my "escape" but b/c of where the dog was, on the other side of a solid brick mailbox, I wasn't able to see him until after I passed the mailbox and all of a sudden I'm being chased.  The dog wasn't outside by himself, the owner was in the driveway and the dog had a leash on but the main thing I don't understand is why he wasn't attached to something.  The owner said he thought the dog was still in the garage but he was busy in the driveway getting stuff out of his car and setting up some saw horses.

On the plus side I feel really great after my run and the bite wound is only a little sore.  I'm also thankful the bite was on the fleshy outside part of my upper leg vice a calf or hamstring area. 

Good night all ....
