Happy National Running Day

This morning I went out for an easy run. I figured I would do two miles, maybe three at the most. Then I met two crazy dogs that I was sure probably would either bite me next time I ran by them or they would run in the street after me again but the next time there might be a car. So out of concern for their safety and my limbs I decided to extend my run so I didn't have to run by them again. After dealing with heavy traffic, blind spots and poor quality of shoulder on the roads, I decided that I hate that route and will never run it again!! I completed 5.91 miles though and I was pretty excited about that! I find it unbelievable that I can go that far. Instead of using that knowledge as motivation, it some how harms me. I have convinced myself that it was a fluke last time I ran a distance around that. So hopefully with this run I will use it for motivation that I can do it. Plus my goal was to keep running fun so I need to do that.
