Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
18.00	0.00	18.00

AM: 61F, 92%. 14 @ 7:48 AP. Running-wise, nothing interesting lately as I'm running fairly easy during this mileage increase, but I did have a protracted engagement with a skunk today. He was in front of me, running down the center of the paved trail, in the same direction I was going. Every time I'd get close, he'd stop and stare me down with his tail in the air, and I'd have to stop (you don't mess around with a skunk when you have work in an hour). This went on for a few minutes as he just refused to get off the trail. Little jerk... Finally he found a spot he liked and got off, but still stared me down as I tiptoed past.

PM: 71F. 4 @ 8:26 AP.

What a punk! You should have stuck your fastwitch right in his.....

I hope he gets eaten by a coyote.

Are you sure it wasn't a black cat with a white paint stripe down its tail? Because I remember seeing that on a TV show. It's remarkable how similar they look.

I didn't see Pepe Le Pew around, so I think it was a real skunk. But he seems like a guy who would sleep late, so who knows...

Those are some seriously evasive tactics for someone who doesn't want to get passed on the trail.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 09:21:24 from 12.182.148.249

I can't tell if you're talking about me or the skunk...

Stinky Critters, I hate it when the skunks come out to play, they mess up everything....

From Derunzo on Wed, Mar 18, 2015 at 14:37:27 from 173.9.52.242

That's a "BA" double. Nice.

From Bec on Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 15:58:10 from 70.115.197.197

Hate those. They hauled all of the skunks off of the base where we live, much more enjoyable now. (smell wise)
