April 2015 Running Challenge

Monday I attempted to break 4 miles for the first time and was completely unsuccessful. I couldn't breathe from the very start of my run and just felt terrible. I made 1.39 (making my april total 7.3) and keep telling myself running at all is good and it's not a failure, but I keep kicking myself. Oh well, I'll do better next time.0

The awesome thing about a crappy run (and we all have them) is that the next great run will make you feel like a million bucks. Consider it mental toughness training, and drive on. You're doing great!0 -

My dog story: I was grazed by a scared dog walking off-lead with his owner, a kindly grandmother visiting for the Christmas break. (He was scared because I was dressed all in black with black sunglasses and a black hat ... it was cold. We were approaching each other.) He broke the skin, but I didn't react quickly enough to get her number, etc. She was dismissive of it, and frankly I was, too. Then, I thought of rabies - no way to find the owner ... I could take a chance, but if I'm wrong, I die. So, $1,500 later for (probably) unnecessary rabies shots, I am vaccinated. Moral: always ask for contact information so you can verify they've had their shots. Ugh.0 -

So true! We all have those horrible runs that are just miserable from start to finish, but luckily that'a not the norm. You went out there and did what you could do - don't beat yourself up!

Right! Yesterday on a trail run a walking couple let their leashed barking snapping dog so close to me I had to jump out of the way. Geez..
I hate that! I run with my dog and she's always on a lead beside me and when we were running this evening a dog off his lead tried to launch at her and bite her and the owner was so dismissive. The dog actually came at her again and this time I lost my cool and yelled at the owner to take him away from my dog. It annoys me so much when my friendly dog is on the lead and another dog that tries to attack her is free to run wild.

Great motivation for my first 5k May 2nd (first that I hope to actually run and not walk anyway). I'm a newbie and just finished the C25k program the first week in March. Gonna try to log 35 running miles in April. The term 'running' is questionable for me ... more like 'jogging' ... but I'll keep trying to get faster.
