I hate dogs!!

Having grown up around dogs and spent my entire childhood dreaming of becoming a vet, I have finally decided that I hate dogs. It seems that I can't go out on a single jog without being chased or barked at,usually by the less scary collie type, but today it was a German Shepherd which scaled a fence and bounded towards me barking and growling. To make matters worse, the dogs owner was there, but chose to ignore his pet, and instead went inside leaving me to fend for myself. Luckily the noise of him closing the front door of his home was enough to distract the dog for sufficient time for me to get away. I am an owner of a German shepherd. One which barks when people pass my house and looks scary. But the difference is that mine is either on his chain, or if loose in the garden, the gates are closed (...and may I add the garden fence is big enough to keep him in). Moving away from the subject of dogs, I ran (and walked) 4.6 miles today according to google maps. I ran the first 2 miles then walked and ran from there (although I must add that I ran much more than I walked). Overall it works out at about 13 minutes a mile. Which to be honest sounds terrible, but factoring in having to stop for dogs, cars and many many tractors (its mid-harvest here) its not too bad. Not quite Mo Farah yet, but in time...
