okay, that was rough

Here is how things went beginning at 4:50 this morning:

• woke up the dog
• took him out for a walk
• encountered mean neighborhood dog who bit Tebow a few weeks ago
• Tebow FREAKED out and started pulling away from me
• it was totally black with no moon or stars
• I got him in the car and he proceeded to step on my thighs and scratch them
• I drove to a well-lit location approx. 2 miles away
• began walking and running (off and on) with Tebow
• he almost pulled me over one time chasing a phantom animal
• he stopped at least 72 times to smell something, what, I have no idea!
• he pulled and dragged and struggled against me the entire time
• once, at a corner (a busy 4-way stop) we encountered another dog who was on a chain who decided to bark repeatedly at him
• again, Tebow FREAKED out and tried to get at the other dog
• he spun me around and around and I had to put one foof up on the curb and pull back with all my weight to hold onto him
• two other very accomplished runners went by at a collegiate-track-runner pace and I immediately got a huge boost of inferiority
• I wrapped the leash around my wrist and then around my shoulder so he was on a shorter lead
• finally got back to my car after he pulled on me the entire way up a hill
• got in the car and decided to figure out how far we had walked (at this point I am in a FOUL mood)
• I roll the window down for him in the back seat of my car
• as I drive, he sticks his head out the window and when I came to a stop sign, we saw another dog being walked on a leash
• he jumped the entire front half of his body out the window while barking violently at the other dog (a tiny shi-zu with a rather grouchy-looking owner lady)
• I completely turn my head around to yell at him and try to grab him and in doing so, completely turn the steering wheel to the right with me
• I almost run into a trailer parked on the curb and slam on my brakes
• Tebow then slides off the seat and slams into the back of the driver's seat
• I realized that I needed some positive vibes and fast
• I drove home, hugged my kids, and vowed to get a prong collar TODAY

Okay, so tonight, my husband would not let us get a sitter and go to a pet store because he wanted to mow the grass. He said I could go by myself but then he decided he wanted the house cleaned up and he started helping for the first time in weeks. Then I felt guilty and I didn't go because it is an hour away and I felt like I should help around the house. Now I have to take the stupid dog again tomorrow.
By the way - we only made it 2.9 miles in 62 minutes. That is not going to bode well in my 5K race. Holy crap I have a long way to go.......
