Bit by dog!

I kid you not!   I didn't run this morning but went for a mile long walk and as I was almost back to our building this man's big black dog lunged at me and took a big chomp on my rump!! The guy immediately pulled him back on his leash but I felt it.  He didn't break the skin so no injury but if I hadn't been wearing heavy blue jeans he would have.  Absolute surprise and scary.

Outside

Ran outside this morning and got hot!   Ran 1 mile and mostly walked back.   Very level here but all on concrete which my calves hate!  But i did what i could.

Gym Times!

You left me a comment the other day that walking is exercise.  And you're right!  I just need an attitude adjustment.

I've been to the gym a couple times this week.  Done some weight lifting and some treadmilling.  I'm putting the incline to 10 so I can really work it!

Planet Fitness

I confess that I have been a bad boy - haven't run for 4 mornings now!  We have done lots of walking and hiking every day but I've been lazy in the morning.  Well, it's been cool and very windy so it's cold out there first thing!  That's my excuse.  Anyway, this morning I drove into Palm Coast and joined Planet Fitness.  Huge place.  Like Chuze in LeMesa.  They have 30 treadmills!  And busy.  All but one were occupied when I arrived.  Lots of people in there doing lots of things.  Every machine you can think of.  So I ran some on a TM and feel better about myself.  It's about an 18 minute drive to get there and a $2 toll on the bridge coming back but better than not doing anything!

Florida Running

We have been here 5 mornings already!  And I have run on 3 of them.  Just 1.5 miles or so but it's something.  Walked on the other two.  Found a nice route from our condo to the boat house for these units which is across the highway, through a very nice residential neighborhood and then a 3/10's of a mile on a hard sandy road to the bay on the other side.  8/10's each way.  Gorgeous morning here!

Short run

Ran 1.5 miles today.  First time in ages.  Been congested ever since, I hate to say.  I need to come to grips with being a walker.  Good thing I like listening to podcasts!

And I saved someone's day today!  I passed a gaggle of old ladies and, not long after we passed, I saw a car key fob on the path.  So I grabbed it it ran it back to the and they were so grateful.  I'm an expert at losing my keys, so I was glad to be able help!

OUTSIDE!

On Hilton Head Island and I ran outside!  Only 1.5 miles but did I mention I was outside? 60, very nice.  Beautiful park right across road from resort with lots of paved trails.
