College Loop: ran the loop again this morning and got a little bit of a late start out the door but I was feeling good so I ran a little harder than I have most of my runs this week. On this mornings run my averages were 7:24/mi, 154 avg heart rate with a max of 165. It was 36 degrees out with 9 mph winds making it feel like 30 degrees. The wind was not to bad except for on mile 5 otherwise I was pretty well protected. In the last mile I yelled out 3 times to a lady that I was coming up from behind since she had a dog and she didn't move over or do anything and of course she had one of those stupid retractable leashes. She finally stops as I'm right by her and locks the dog leash which then the young puppy turns and goes sideways right into me. It was not a very gracefull hurdle but I managed to only get one leg caught on the leash. I didn't go down but it didn't feel great the last half mile I accessed my body & I don't think I hurt anything but I'll watch it.
