Can't believe I got bit you-know-where

[fatbottomedgurl]

I visited my neighbor yesterday and their giant English mastiff chomped me right in the gluteus maximus. I have a bruise and teeth marks 6" across my left cheek. I was not even wearing jeans- I had on running shorts.

There is no way I can run for a while- and I was going to do a short duathlon this weekend to warm up for my first tri on the 27th. I find this mildly humorous.

Any way, just goes to show you can train all you want but sometimes things unexpected happen. I think I'll be okay for my tri- just not getting in that last week of 5k training. Oh well, I have another one in November. I'll just stay away from humongous dogs.

I would post a picture but it is a little inappropriate.

Oh well, it makes for great story telling!

Did you get it checked out, medically speaking?

And what was up with that mastiff ?!?

My experience with butt bruises has been that they heal fast. Hopefully you will too.

Well, at least you can work on the swim portion...the only bright side..

Hope it heals for you soon...that is such a silly random thing to have happen!

At least you got bit by a regular sized dog...I was bit on the butt by a miniature dachshund. He was a high jumper.

Ouch!!! Hope you heal quick. Last time a dog bit me right on a muscle, I had a small but deep area that took forever to heal.

And really, if professional racers can post their *ss hematomas, I wouldn't find it inappropriate. Not that you need to post yours or anything.

Ha hah- Although I would not call him a "regular sized dog." He probably outweighs me by 40 pounds. And what's up with him? His buddy started barking and he snuck in from behind. I love my neighbors but I won't be over there again.

Seriously! The worst damage my mastiff every inflicted was a bad case of slobber.

[tctrek]

Yikes!! This is one of the bazillion reasons why I am afraid of dogs.

[NbyNW]

Yipes! Hope you heal up quick.

Oh man. That's crazy! It will make a good story, though. Race reports don't usually include "after I got bit on my butt by that dog..."

You should be fine... just take it easy!
