2. After 44 years of life, I had a first today. I got bit by a dog. Less than a quarter mile from my home and the neighbor was there with her two dogs--one off leash--and I got bit on the back of my calf. however, I still completed my run--more than 6 miles with 5 at marathon pace. I really thought the dog had just jumped on me. The lady asked if the dog bit me and said the dog was know to "nip" at people. I kept running a while then stopped to check it again. Yep, blood running down my leg and two puncture marks. It hurt, but really not too bad. Yes, I cleaned it throughly. Yes, I am watching for infection. Yes, I reported it. Reporting was a really hard decision. Maybe it shouldn't be so hard, but it was. Thanks to all the Loopsters on Loopville for the encouragement.

At least you are mostly OK.
Back to back marathons are awesome! Good luck with that! I've been bitten a few times. Here in SA there is not much you can do. We don't have laws about leashes and things. I loved your 3rd point! Have a great weekend!
I LOVE dogs!
I hate when people leave them off leash. THEY may know that their dog isn't going to hurt me, but when it is charging me>>>that doesn't help ME feel any better. And I always say to myself, if a dog was a biter the owner WOULD keep it on a leash. Now I know better. Hmph!
Sorry that happened :-(
