Yesterday I did a 15 mile run on my usual course and started about 8 am (amazing I got out of bed that early). I saw a number of dogs when I started the run and I thought they were violating the no dogs regulation; I later found the sign and it said that after 9 am they were violating the regulation. Even after 9 am, there were a number of dogs there. To top it off, some dogs were off leash which is never permitted. Dogs on the path are just another obstacle I have to avoid. If the regulations were enforced, maybe people would stop bringing their dogs.
I love dogs, but there is a time and a place for them.
