Morning run reflections - 17 Oct

Today morning i went for an outdoor run, the weather was just amazing at 5:30am with lovely air flowing in my face. I usually do my runs in the morning itself around 5:30am as I find the streets are calm without any vehicles on the road, just that sometimes there are gang of dogs and it looks a bit scary. Although I haven't faced any danger till date with dogs, I manage to run past them calmly. Today something really interesting happened, one dog starting following me, initially i got scared but i kept my calm. Later i realised he was following me and maybe giving me a company. He ran for 1km with me, when there was a different gang of dogs that was visible, so this one stopped as he did not want to enter their territory and I carried my run. While my run I was thinking, maybe this dog was feeling alone and he thought to follow me & run with me as he may also have needed a company :)
While returning back in my run i did not see him, but I will share again in one of my upcoming runs if this new found running buddy joins me in my next morning run.

Today for an easy 5.5km run at an easy pace of 6:30 min/km, avg heart rate was 178 (I have a goal to bring this down, let's see how it goes.
