I was bitten by a dog today. A big one. I'm fine.

The weather today was great. It was really sunny and I went for a run in the late afternoon without my watch, just for fun. After 20 minutes I reached Whole Foods, and there was a girl walking two big dogs. I stopped and warned her: "on your left". She pulled the leashes so I walked past the three of them but one of the leashes wasn't pulled in close enough.

The big gray dog thought I wanted to play a game and cheerfully up jumped against me and bit me in the arm. Luckily the bite isn't too deep, and the doctor said I shouldn't really worry about it, just keep it clean and watch it over the next days.

Three weeks ago a quick sprint helped me escape a furious little dog that was tied to the house with an overly long leash and wanted to bite me in the ankles.

I like dogs but I could do without their attention while running.
