I went for an involuntary run yesterday.

It was a beautiful sunshiny but cold day. I took my now nearly 11 month old little woowoo up the track and out into the countrysite. We met lots of other walkers with their pooches. I just love to walk with her and meet and greet.
About 2 1/2 km into the walk, a guy with a massive noisy contraption comes round a bend in the track. I don't know what scared her so much and I will probably never know. Fact is, she turned and ran and nothing was stopping her. Me in wellies had no chance of catching her.
How she managed to cross the busy road without killing herself is beyond me. I was just so happy to be reunited with her. One thing is for sure: it wasn't her time to go and something or someone did look out for her and I couldn't be more grateful :)

Today she is snuggled up next to me in her little bed and my hips ache every time I get up.

Miracles do happen :)

Sheer desperation!

ahhh glad she's safe and well, they are a worry when they bolt especially pups. i keep mine on leads as one doesn't do well with meet and greet, more like meet and scrap!! she's only a Jack russell but has the soul of a Doberman. and now you've taken up running?! look out London Marathon!! ;-)

There is never 'only' Jack Russel!!! Quite often the lead is the problem (not my wisdom) Luckily it doesn't make a difference to her. My daughter and I have started a C25K on Monday and yesterday was my day 2. I think I got them intervals wrong. My hips are screaming at me every time I get up ;)

where did you get your running program from if you don't mind me asking?

I installed an app on my phone from the NHS :)

Sorry to hear about this scary near miss. I hope it doesnt happen again! I am curious, what is the NHS app name? Thanks!

We have the same problem with loonies where we walk. Always some idiot disturbing the peace. Luckily our Lola (Maltese) always runs to us if scared. :)

MadreVeronica: simply C25K :) . Bfb: she ran towards me, behind me and then away. It was obviously too scary and I didn't react fast enough. I will be more vigilant, thats for sure!
