My left and right knee have been bothering me not allot but just enough. I finally researched and did some exercises to strengthen the hamstring quad and other muscles. The idea that the knee has no muscles and you must strengthen the muscles around the knee to prevent strain on the knee.
I walk 5 miles a day to train for the PCT. Unfortunately most of its on concrete or asphalt. I try to walk on grass (but its wet) or dirt when possible.
I am pretty automatic about the walk, especially during the week. There is no exploring as I have to get back by a certain amount of time to start working.
As I was coming up to this work-site I was looking at the gutter. Normally there is crap like sand bags or plastic wrap. The bags are used to prevent debris from flowing into the storm drains and the plastic crap gets blown around (its been windy lately). As I start walking by this amalgam of crap, a head rears up.
I take like 10 steps in the opposite direction, I didn't know what it was.
It was a dog, one of those Yorkie type dogs, foofie, but this one gave me a wierd look its lower teeth were evident. It wasn't like it was snarling at me, the dogs lower mouth just drooped open.
It looked sick.
I thought, if I find someone with car to stop, maybe they will take it somewhere. I also thought on my return, I will give it some water.
When I returned it was gone.
7.11.21 update - Chinese running lady (I don't know her name) I had warned her about the dog and she said thanks. The next day she told me she went up to the dog and talked to it. It got up and started following her. She lead it to the dog park enclosure and shut the door around it and then called animal control. They came and picked it up.
