Bad dog! Don't bite me braugh!

Thursday am- 6 mile out and back... on CCC Rd yes indeed. German Shepherd wants to use me as a chew toy - fired me up for the rest of the run.

Thursday pm - 12 miles (brentwood loop x 2 plus) lightning storm misses the area but looms on horizon. Blisters on right foot.

Friday am - 6 miles CCC again, this time I have an aluminum metal shaft, about 4.5 ft long for that dog... who is waiting for me in the road barking a quarter mile off. I charge and raise my weapon shouting scratching my pole on the road. I pass the house with the dog going nuts 10 feet away from me, looking for an opening to attack. I hear myself say- "get back or I'm gonna HURT you". I was so angry, blood was pumping in my ears. On my return, I was ready for a fight- thinking of the movie 300 I charge through the foggy air. The dog's owner appeared. We had an awkward, yet cordial conversation- there was a short in his electric fence. He said he'd get it fixed- i have a better idea...

anyway- 88miles ... I am within striking distance.
