I am deathly afraid of dogs and that is what has kept me from getting out and walking or riding before and decided I couldn't let this anxiety rule my life. I bought some pepper spray which I carry with me and just getting out of the house and trying to overcome that fear has been very freeing for me.

Does anyone else use daily mile to keep track of their progress? I have friends there and it keeps me accountable.
