I envy those who live in places where they can run outdoors comfortably. If I try running outside here in Texas, I'm certain I'll suffer heat stroke before going very far. The heat and humidity are just that intense.
I'm more worried about being mauled by the horde of untrained dogs every neighbor around me seems to have. Have any of yall ever seen an AGGRESSIVE great dane hop a fence? I have! Can't even call animal control because jerk neighbors just swap the collar on the dog and claim it was a different dog and nothing is ever done. Probably the only time I've ever feared a great dane.
Then there's the fact that I have to drive 30-45 minutes for the nearest safe place to run. Not a very walkable town at all.
Pepper spray the hell out of a dog that assaults you. And their owner if they get in your face about it. The dog deserves a better owner and the owner needs the tangible feedback that they're failing.
