Enjoying nature. The workouts continue regularly every other day, a little bit faster and no more longer than 10 km.: I don’t have to be in hurry. I have also begun to swim in open sea to try to recover the complete movement of my right shoulder: the arm hurts but the things go better even if i know that the recover is impossible.
To enjoy more my workouts I made a couple of trails with my son: watching the nature, the critters, the plants and in good company the time flies.
We also had a dog attack, luckily with no consequences: we left slowly the place and the 5 attackers came back home.
Here are some fruits we saw on the trail:
And here are more friendly animals that we met:
Have you ever had bad experiences with dogs during your runs?
I walk a lot and there are two older dogs that are a pain. I have to yell to get them to back off. They also chase cars and harass other dogs that are walking with their owners.
ReplyDeleteBut you are not scared and you don't give up! They must learn not to bore you.
DeleteHello, I walk often and most dogs I come across are with their owners and they are leashed. Pretty view of the trees and berries. The donkey is cute! Wishing you a great day and weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteGlad you don't have problems with dogs. Indeed I had many dog attacks but they never bitten me.
DeleteWhat a blessing to share the trails with your son!
ReplyDeleteOne of the first things we noticed when we came to New Zealand, was that the dogs are mostly very well trained and well-behaved (exactly the opposite of SA, where we came from!). So thankfully no dog incidents for me. Glad you weren't hurt!
Sharing a hobby with our children is wonderful. We run together, we go to watch the rugby matches together and more and more.....
DeleteWhat lovely photos. Sorry about the dogs, though. My major dog incident was when I tripped over a dog that was chasing another one and ran across in front of me, and I cracked two ribs! I've been very careful around dogs, especially knee-high ones, since then!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible experience! Many years ago an adventure of mine went to the local newspaper when a dog assaulted me and other 2 friends. One of them had to go to the emergency room (shock and bite).
Deleteit's nice that you have such beautiful scenery to run along side of. i don't run, never have, but i was bitten once by a dog and it was a really bad experience for me. my son also got bit, by a stray and had to have the series of rabies shots!!
ReplyDeleteTerrible experiences. I am sorry for you both. I had many dog attacks but I have always been lucky.
DeleteLooks like a nice trail with enjoyable scenery. Sorry about the dog attack. Glad you are both ok. I've had many dogs run out and after me but thankfully no bites.
ReplyDeleteThe trail is wonderful, near a creek and in the middle of the woods. Glad you didn't have bad adventures with the dogs.
DeleteThanx For All The Photos From The Journey - What An Experience - Keep On Keeping On Brother
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thank you. I always keep on on keeping on: never give up.
DeleteThankfully I haven’t had a bad experience with dogs on the run, but one of the women in our great bitten by one while running. 5 dogs is a pack & must have been scary.
ReplyDeleteGlad you haven't had bad experiences. 5 dogs: 2 maremma shepherd dogs (the big white ones) + 3 little dogs.
DeleteHello, The scenery is beautiful. So frightening about the dog. The fruits and berries are pretty this time of year. Cute photo of the donkey.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The woods and the country are plenty of berries in this period. That donkey is very friendly.
DeleteI love that you saw a donkey! Especially since I just read that book. Sorry to hear about the dogs. I've had bad experiences with dogs off leash.
ReplyDeleteI called that donkey and he came to "greet" me and my son.
DeleteI hope that your bad experiences with dogs were ... not so bad.
Glad you were safe. However I don't succeed in learning the lesson, I keep on running where I risk to meet dogs.
ReplyDeleteyes I was also chased by a dog once on a run. It's a scary experience! Glad all are unharmed and ok. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteI can understand how scary it was. Glad that the things went well. Have a good week.
DeleteDog attacks are scary - especially on the trails! I was once bitten by a dog during a run. Now I am very wary of dogs I encounter while running. It's nice that you son hits the trails with you!
ReplyDeleteTerrible experience! Was it a very painful bite?
DeleteWhen possible he comes to train and race with me. Now he is 40 y.o.
Those berries look yummy...are they blackberries (in the first pic)?
ReplyDeleteYes they are blackberries. The country around here is full of them.
DeleteI've been lucky with dogs on my run. So sorry about the attack and glad no one was hurt! How nice that your son runs the trails with you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you never had such experience. Often I and my son (40 y.o.) run together.
DeleteWhile I love dogs, I would be terrified to see a pack of them during my run. You just never know which dogs are friendly, and not friendly.
ReplyDeleteTrue, we cannot know before if they are friendly or not.
DeleteBut the problem is that they are faster than us.
I was bitten by a dog only once - not a pleasant experience.
