Button it Millican, I can't slow down I am being chased by a dog!

So W2 R1 proved to be pretty eventful. My 3rd 90 second run was stretched to nearly 2 mins as I was pursued by a rather frisky Old English Sheepdog. It seemed amazed how slowly this particular human ran despite the flurry of arms and leg. Might see if I can hire the pooch to assist me with the longer runs in week 3!

😂 Have you read the post about the crow encounter? It seems to be a week of speeding up due to animal interaction! Haha! Hope you’re ok after that!

Great motivation tool - but hey, look on the bright side- you can run for 2 minutes - praise for the doggy coach!! LOL 😂 🐶 I was ‘helped’ in week 8 run 3 by a cockerpoo puppy, unfortunately she just kept running round and round my legs - serious trip hazard!! - the owner got a nice little jog chasing after me trying to retrieve her - his morning walk was a little more energetic than he had bargained for - bless her....a real cutie 🏎
