Labor day sleep in and run....wonderful to run in the sunshine on a week-day again.  Especially with the cooler weather.  It felt really nice today.  Ran to p-town; not much excitement- just a smashed opossum and something that looked like a ribcage belonging to a medium sized dog.

warm up, run 7, cool down. avg pace 9:02

splits: 9:28, 8:58, 8:58, 9:00, 9:00, 8:51, 8:43, 8:48, 9:37

in the afternoon, went for a bike ride.  70 minutes, then a break to shoot the bull with Wyatt for a while, then another 30 minutes home.  Lost my pepper spray somewhere in the first 1/2, and really needed it during the 2nd.  Dogs barking and chasing me right at my feet as I'm trying to pedal away from them and not into traffic...it's enough to make me really mad.  I want to scream at the owners who let their dogs do that.  But I doubt it would do any good.  So I went and bought 2 pepper sprays after dinner.  So now I've got a back up. 

Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me.

More roadkill, eh?

Nice work on the run. Especially getting to sleep in - I forfeited my sleep in, but it was worth it :)

Dog rib cage? YIKES, I hope it's not a wolf!

Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew? :)

oh yes, the roadkill was there for my running and biking pleasure today (took an afternoon ride). Also saw a big dead turtle on the bike ride. Probably 2 feet long when it was alive.

Pretty sure the rib cage was a dog, or at least my brain needs to let me think that. I wish folks would keep their dogs in their yards. Then the dogs wouldn't chase me, and they wouldn't get hit by cars either. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but then again, we are talking about folks from p-town and the the creek.
