Woa, big dog...

This morning I managed to pull myself out of bed for an interval run. I ran about 2.5 miles in 30 minutes, including warm up and cool down. I warmed up with a jog then did 8 sets of 30 seconds hard, 60 seconds easy.

The only interesting part of the run was the large dog (probably a mastiff or a young great dane, but it was dark and I didn't get that great of a look) that was roaming around the neighborhood, probably depositing equally large "presents" in random yards. Because of the route I took, I crossed him three times! I was worried because some dogs think if you are running you want to play so they run after you. Luckily, this guy just looked at me. I yelled "No!" at him the first time and "Go home!" the second time. He barely looked at me and kept sniffing all the bushes and light posts. I think he's probably a nice dog, but I don't care to come across strange large dogs at 5:30am.
