Dogs! what do you do?
What do you do to defend yourself from dogs on runs?
this morning on a 4.5 run at my one mile mark i was attacked by a large chocolate lab.
as i ran he lunged at me twice catching my pants and the second got my left butt cheek. my pearl izumi syncroinfinity landed right under his chin when i reallized he wasn't finished.
my garmin confirms myh highest heart rate of the run while not actually running.
i was wondering what weapons if any do you guys arm yourselves with.

Not continue running is the best advice and I yell, GO HOME. Stop, face the animal and hold your ground, watch them carefully and be ready to defend yourself. If you are with a group, dogs are intimidated, if they are in a group, you are in serious trouble. Sometime just crossing the street works, getting out of their territory. If it's an everyday problem, I would buy the pepper spray and practice using it before confronting an animal with it.
