Ok, day 2….the hardest day of any plan in my opinion.

I woke up later today and I almost talked myself out of it.  My shoulders, my legs, and yes, my ass hurt.

But I prevailed.

Started out slow and picked up the pace.  I walk in a very busy neighbor hood and I always am worried about traffic and being hit by cars.  Today I have a new worry, being eaten alive by dogs.  Yesterday I was face to face with only a chain link fence between me and a very angry dog.  Apparently he was not a fan of my new-found motivation and wanted me off his sidewalk  Scared me so bad I jump off the sidewalk and into the street.  Pretty sure I burned a few extra calories just on that little encounter.

So today I decided I would be smart.  I walked on the opposite side of the street and decided that it would be a safer bet. I was attached by a pug puppy, but his only motive was for me to pet him.

At this point I am actually smiling at the other side of the street because I made a smart move.  Walking next to  a very tall wall.  Next thing I know a huge dog is attempted to jump over it.  It had to be at least seven feet tall and half of his body was over it!  Again, jumped into the street and screamed.  I’m sure someone was getting a chuckle out of this if they where watching both days from their living room!

So tomorrow, I’m changing routes all together.  Hopefully I’ll find one with only friendly dogs like the pug.

Day 2, 30 minutes 1.2 miles…moving a little slower today, but still moving.
