6 and 7

It began to rain this Saturday, first it was a mist and then it came down in drops. We braved it anyhow and successfully completed 6 miles for Eddie and 7 miles for Melissa. Our route took us along the residential area of Leucadia. Although idyllic, it was startling when a dog jumped and locked its jaws on a runner's sleeve right in front of me. Fortunately, she ran away unscathed. Eddie ran at a strong pace and next week, he'll be heading up to 7. Having put in the time in some outdoor runs this past week, I felt stronger during this run than in previous weeks.
