I’ve never owned any of them. I looked up the Adidas Adios Pro Evo 2… wow, that is a wild shoe. I feel like I remember that being controversial when it came out, like its trampoline effect was too much or something.

yea, I remember the controversy too. I think some races even banned the shoes. My runner friend uses the carbon plated On shoes but I’m not sure if it’s the one listed. They were expensive and I think she ran like 10-15 sec faster, like for each mile but I think those shoes are mostly meant for the elites. I’ll stick with my asic and saucony lol

Trying to get back to getting up early and being consistent with my running I’ve been doing 3-4 a week but I use to do 5-6 a week. It was 35F this morning so had to break out the fleece leggings

5k sunday was almost a disaster. I was grooving and was feeling good until I almost got attacked by dogs right after a mile and a half. The break in the pace is me stopping and having to scare them off. Luckily the ring leader grabbed the gloves in my pocket when it tried to bite me. I think that’s the only reason I’m ok, shaken up but physically ok. I tried to get back into but was just shaken for the rest of the run. Ran into another dog right before mile 3 but that one ran off when I yelled at it.

I’m not really sure if they were someone’s pet but I suspect they were because they listened when I said no and go home. It took me almost a mile to mentally recover. I’m glad it wasn’t worse but it was pretty scary

Ugh… I’ve been sent to the hospital once, another buddy was very severely attacked, and yet another buddy just went through the whole rabies treatment due to an attack. I have zero tolerance for unleashed/un-controlled dogs. It sucks because I used to love dogs. They can all just go away as far as I’m concerned. Controversial take, I know, but that’s what it’s come to for me. 
I’m glad you’re OK and didn’t need to be patched up!

Good heavens!! How many?? My state seems to have a high amount of dog attacks. Usually someone’s pet(s). Do you carry spray or a safety alarm to scare them away? I have spray on my dog leash. I’m more concerned about my sweet Ruby than myself. She is such a gentle and submissive girl - bully dogs love that. Gunny was the same and he got picked on. Well…until I intervened! Not today Satan dog.

There were 2. They ran up behind me so I didn’t even see them coming. I heard them right before the main one grabbed my gloves. I’m just happy those gloves were there cause if they hadn’t been he/she would have had a bite full of my leg. My runner friend whose husband works outside said he has seen an increase of strays recently. I normally have pepper spray but I didn’t take it with me on sunday. I won’t be leaving it behind anymore.

Sounds like you were lucky. I wonder if the gloves were the intended target! I live in a neighborhood where the houses are close and I see very few dogs running around. Only when they escape their house. Our FB group reported a “biter” one street over. I avoid that house. Safe running!!

I had injured my leg (knee/calf muscle) at the end of October and been off from running until now. Well, I had some maybe 2 runs which were not bad but afterwards my leg was suffering even more. Now I feel like I’m ready (physically) but man, I just can’t… I can’t get my ass out of house. There is always something but the truth is I’m sabotaging myself, just finding excuses. Not being in best place mentally and we all know it would help tremendously if I would start again. But there is always work/kids/hunger/full belly/crazy weather - you name it.
I’m also in this stupid pity party I throw for myself and I feel so disconnected from this forum lately… I have no support in real life, only here, and lately I don’t feel it. I feel like stupid needy teenager cause I was out for some time and noone even noticed, noone missed me… Omg, what I’m even writing 
Even I am laughing just by writing this. But I hope you know what I mean. I just feel transparent and it’s not a nice feeling.
But, back to topic, I made this post cause maybe it will motivate me to go for a quicky after work.
Have a good day people (or night)

I would miss you if you weren’t here. Almost 1 year ago I sent you a message. You were the first person that made me feel welcome here by commenting on my first post. I don’t do meetings or anything like that, just this community. I don’t read this running thread anymore due to injury, but I saw your new avatar pop up and wanted to see what running you’d been up to. You can change your name @poppyfairy but I’ll always remember you Mischa that encouraged me at the beginning
