A beautiful sunny morning. Didn't pass a single car. Mrs Wittrocks dobermans barked at me but were securely behind the fence. Good thing, because I forgot to bring my pepper spray.

Nicely done!!!

Barking is okay, I suppose! :)

Sounds like a beautiful day. Do you live out in the country?

Teena, Yep, barking is just fine. These guys are vicious looking. I run by them nearly every day and I usually bring my pepper spray. Even with it I'm not sure I could fend them both off. But at least I'd have a fighting chance. Fortunately the lady that owns them is a responsible pet owner and keeps them secure.

Rhett, Yeah I live in the country outside of a small town in the Willamette valley of Oregon. We live along a 3 mile long dirt road that dead ends. There are only about 15 homes spread out over that three miles. It make for a great place to run because there is so little traffic. But there are a few dogs as is always the case in the country. How 'bout you? Are you a city or country dweller?

Mack, sounds like an ideal place to run. I live in a small town in the middle of the desert on the Colorado River of about 50,000 with no other towns within 40 miles. If I run south I can be out of town in less than 3 miles, but there are no quiet lonely dirt roads nearby, so I'm usually running with the cars. But there aren't a ton like in a big city.
