And Meb strained his achilles after a dog lunged at him on a run.

I got bit by two dogs on a run. Not fun. Fortunately, I was able to scare them off before they did any real damage. And it was right in the middle of a neighborhood with lots of little kids, not out in the boonies.

The best defense against a dog attack is to never run alone. Dogs don't attack groups of people.

Although dogs may not attack groups of people the same cannot be said for kids...Im talking about baby goats. Those fkcunig things FREAK OUT if a group runs by them.

Get those dogs on a chocker chain. AUFF AUFF AUFF

ck that video again, Ryan Hall shaves his legs, really. common on man!

Anyone know what the dog was training for?

I live in an extremely rural area and not a single neighbor of mine follows the leash law. The dogs on my road CONSTANTLY chase down runners/walkers/bikers and have torn numerous bikers right off their bikes. The worst part is the dog warden lives on my road and he owns 3 german shepherds that make it IMPOSSIBLE for me to run by his property. Even if I am on the other side of the road they will come after me. I've had 2 friends bitten by one of them. If I bring my dog with me they try to tear him to pieces but luckily he's faster than they are so he can at least out run them.

One day I was attacked by one of the dogs on my road and bitten for the first time. If a dog is truly running at you, it's almost impossible to tell if his tail is wagging. There's a difference between a dog galloping up to you and a dog just headed straight for you in a dash. If he looks like a freaking lion chasin down a gazelle, chances are he doesn't want to play. This dog didn't even bark or growl, he just came flying out of no where and took a chunk out of my thigh. My leg swelled up so quickly from the bite that I couldn't walk home, not to mention I was bleeding all over the F*ing place.

The only thing that has usually w orked for me is if i stop and turn and face the dog and yell in a deep voice. Sometimes I'll even stomp my feet. But as soon as I turn to run they come chasing. In this case I never saw the dog coming and was just running with my back turned.

What PEDs was the dog on?

I was on a training run with a Kenyan friend of mine. I was leading on a down hill when a dog rushed out of a driveway, ( a big ugly mother ) I charged it, scooping down to the ground like I was getting a rock. I chased it back into it's driveway, screaming "I'll tera your head OFF!!!" The owners were outside I immediatly turned on them and screamed " I'll kill that thing, keep it in your yard !!"

Did I mention they were my nieghbors ? they never spoke to me again, and my Kenyan friend never looked at me the same afterward : > )

On another incident this last summer I was training for a tri on my bike, while cruising down the highway I caught movement out the periphrial of my right eye, a truck had just passed me from behind honking I waved thinking it was some one who knew me. As i turned to check out the periphrial movement it was a big white pitbull spinning in the road like one of those spinning fireworks ! The truck had been honking at the dog as it was in the process of crossing the highway to take me out ! I almost fell off my bike laughing at the thought of it - dog coming to chow on me god sends a truck to run it over !! thank you God LOL

Nah, it was angry because he came to his favourite post to piss up and she'd knicked it first
