run 1:07:44 [3] 10.47 km (6:28 / km)
On holidays this week so headed out this morning for a run with both dogs in increasing wind and rain. Went east along boundary track and had reached the higher flatter section when I noticed a white headed emu just ahead on the track. When it saw me it started heading our way, quickly gathering speed. It looked angry. I let go of Callum and he took off in fear, back the way we came. I quickly got off the track and stumbled into the bush with Bear hiding behind a tree. Angry emu ignored us and tore after poor Callum. I headed down the bushy spur for a bit and then turned contoured around to try and find Callum, calling. My stomach sank as I saw angry white headed emu just ahead looking about in the direction I wanted to go. I quickly back tracked and hid behind a tree again. I then headed down the bushy spur as quickly as I could with Bear attached and in slippery conditions.
Luckily angry emu didn't show again although some Roos tore past. When I got to the road I was about to ring home to see if Callum had turned up when he bolted out of the bush to join us. He looked a bit frazzled but was happy enough to keep running. Up Saddle hill back down QJD. I carried a stick the rest of the way just in case angry white head reappeared. Bit too much wildlife for me!
