I had a shit day. I mean, my legs felt like crap, I didn't want to run and it was wet and cold and windy. Needless to say, I was not in the best frame of mind when I laced up my shoes. I had several conversations with myself that went something like this:
I: Hi Myself
Myself: Shut up
I: Wow. Somebody's cranky.
Myself: Yeah, well, you would be too if you had to run in this freaking weather.
I: Uh, genius, I am running in this weather. You? Me? Same person!
Myself: Oh yeah? then why are you so happy?
I: Because we get to run! Isn't it great?
Myself: Uh huh.
I: We have our nike+ gadget all queued up and ready to roll with all kinds of motivational songs
Myself: more like crap
I: and it's not too crowded out here
Myself: except for a bunch of stupid people and their stupid dogs
I: and the sun is tucked behind the clouds
Myself: stupid rain
I: and we're going to have a great run today!
Myself: Shut up you loser
...five minutes later
Myself: I want to stop
I: But we just got started
Myself: So? This sucks
I: Come on! You can do it!
Myself: No I can't
I: Yes you can. Just hang in there and you'll start to feel better
Myself: dodododododododo...I hate this....dodododododododododo
I: what are you doing?
Myself: trying to block you out of my head so I can stop running
I: Come on! Keep moving!
....ten minutes later
Myself: Oh sweet merciful heavens!!!!!
I: what are you complaining about now?
Myself: I want to stop!!!!!!!!!
I: Why?
Myself: I'm tired
I: Get over it.
Myself: It's too far
I: It's 3 lousy miles
Myself: It's too far
I: Oh look! A tree! Look at that beautiful tree!
Myself: Shut up. Quit trying to distract me from my pain
I: How's your foot?
Myself: Fine
I: then you have no reason to stop. Keep going!
...and in the end.
Myself: Thank God that's over!
I: Great job!
Myself: Yeah, that wasn't too bad.
I: Oh shut up! You complained the entire time

I'm not sure which is worse: dog's not on leashes or dogs ON leashes. If the dog is on a leash, I ALWAYS manage to get tangled up in the leash and the dog. If the dog is not on a leash, they chase me.
I don't do well with dogs.
