Motivated Momma!: Day 28- 5 Miles and a Recap of Being Chased By A Dog

I just realized that I never wrote a post about my awful run on Thursday... It was a bad. I took Addy with me. It was HOT, in the 90's, I was running SLOW... and then we were chased by a dog for about a half a block. The dog was trying to bite my ankles so I ran faster and was jumping and trying to keep my legs away from its jaws. I yelled at it...I swore at it. Thankfully it wasn't interested in Addy or the jogging stroller. The dogs owner was nowhere in sight. It gave up after a while and just turned and ran the other way. I was so pissed. It had been barking and snarling at me and it scared Addy so bad she was crying. I ran a little further until I was far from it and then stopped and pulled Addy out of the jogger to comfort her. Damn dog! I'm never running that route again.

On to today's run. I got 5 miles in to end week 4 of my training. It's been in the 90's all week. This morning it rained so we went and bought Addy her big girl bed this afternoon. I took her crib apart while Adam did homework for the academy. I am not ashamed to admit that I cried for a minute. I put her new toddler bed together (Adam helped for a little bit after I smashed my finger...which is now bruised. :oP). I went for my run around 7:00pm and it was about 81 degrees outside. There was no breeze. At all. It was so damn hot and sticky! I ran a new route (some parts had no sidewalks). I had 2 miles that were over 10 minutes and I'm not happy about that. I need to fix it! I liked the new route, it had some hills. Over half of mile 3 was uphill which might be why mile 4 was slower.
