Today I walked for 1/2 hr and took my dogs. I took one, had to run an errand, and took the other. We were almost attacked by another dog. This dog always barks and jumps around when we pass, and is usually restrained by his chain. This time, the chain didn't stop him. I put my dog behind me and started yelling at the oncoming dog. This dog stopped at the edge of his lawn, and after I stared him down, he started slinking away. After we moved on the dog realized that he was free and started wandering around. I was going to tell these neighbors that their dog was loose but, as usual, they weren't home. Maybe the dog will find a new home. Maybe I need to invest in some pepper spray.
Anyway, after the walk, I went to the gym and worked out on the Cybex machines.
After talking to some other runners, I have also decided to not follow the training schedule completely. I am going to listen to my body, and it is saying that this schedule is too accelerated. Instead, I plan to run 2 minutes / walk 1 until it is easy for me. Then I will increase my runs by a minute, a week at a time.
