The unthinkable has happened, Sunday 10/26/08 a lady and her dog were attacked and injured while out on a run. What would you do? How prepared are you for something like this?
I have thought about this possibility in the past, maybe for a split second. Now that I have witnessed it first hand, saw the blood and felt the fear, its much more real!
This event occured on the street outside my house, I heard the screams from the dog and owner, as a matter of fact the whole neighborhood did! Good thing they both screamed so loud and long! They got lots of help!
Think about it everone, things like this do happen, be prepared.
Pepperspray - a good idea!
Phone numbers handy - so you can remember them in a time of crisis!
Know release points for dogs! - eyes, hind legs & genetils. (most breeds)
The lady had deep cuts and wounds, the dog had a severe cut requiring staples and several welts from bites. The attacking dog's owner also had many bites and scrapes.
My advice - try not to get in the middle of a dog fight unless you want a possible trip to the hospital!

Ivy Rocks Chicago!
Ivy e-mails Coach Luis;WOW!!!!!!!!! I did it!!!!!! Thanks to you! You are my HERO. I know I couldn't of done it on my own. I kept hearing you in my head tell me different things and I made it. I was not happy with my time, but I'll get over it. I was hoping for 4:45, but at least now I know what to do different in my training. I started out slow, like I'm supposed to, but I got scared that I would use up too much energy if I picked up the pace, so I stayed slow the whole time. My pace was 12:02. The next one I do I will work harder to get comfortable with a faster speed. I think I will do a 1/2 next to work on my time. Let me know what you think. I feel good today. Just a little stiff when I get up from sitting down or laying down. But once I'm up I'm pretty pain free. Thanks again!

We, the members of the Core Quest Running Group are pleased to invite anyone interested in what we do, running, walking, or jogging to join us for a run, walk or jog. Contact Liesbet anytime and she can hook you up with members of the group that meet your availability!
This season participants will be training for whatever distance race they choose for themselves. There are many events to choose from and we are here to assist you in determining what best meets your goals and abilities.
We have decided to keep the number of members to a minimum, and have also decided that the group should be co-ed.
So, we hope to see you at any one of our regular workouts soon!

In the photo is (left to right) Debbie Sullivan - Debbie just recently joined the group and is still in the base training phase, she came out to cheer us on and ended up running a half marathon! Way to go Debbie with a great time of 2:54:08! Cherise Sarduke what a joy watching Cherise over the last 22 weeks! Her time has improved so much and she finished this race with a great time of 2:28:46!

That's determination!, and last, Monica Brennan (me!) finished at 2:19:13 whoo hoo!
