4x7 mins [1.5]

Up Highland View to grind out the session before lunch. No issues first two reps, but then the dogs started getting let out. Either this was a concentrated effort to get me off their road, or the dogs were going mental inside smelling me run by and the owners let them out because they thought they wanted fresh air or something. Lots of mad barking on the third rep, but just four dogs and they just scared the shit out of me, all good. I go ahead with the fourth rep, believing that we're in the clear. The first two dogs from earlier have joined another dog from across the road, but they politely sat and watched me, lovely. I turn the corner to the other two should be but they're back inside. That doesn't stop two chihuahuas to yip at me and another dog to bark a bit, but they stayed a little away from the road. I think I'm all clear, enjoying the tunes, six minutes in, and suddenly I hear a deafening bark behind me, look back and there's a huge black dog biting at my legs. I accidentally upper cut it when my leg comes back, it starts coming at my hand, but at this point I'm past its house and it can't be arsed anymore so it pretends nothing happened and strolls back home. Bloody hell what a fright. Don't think I'll head back there on Saturday. Nice loop though for intervals.

A few niggles, probably from neglected muscles being used yesterday, a little tightness on the inside of both legs near the ankle but confident it's from football. Was alright for the session and concerns that I had a stuffy nose this morning faded.
