AM: 11.7 miles easy with Ken, Dave, Bret, and Jace from 21st Pond up to Ogden Canyon and then back on Bird Song Trail and down 21st Street. Added a bit more around the pond too.

During mile one we crossed a bridge and I heard some scurrying under the bridge. I immediately thought we were going to encounter a troll. But it wasn't a troll, it was a skunk and it jumped out from under the bridge in attack mode and had Dave been 1-2 seconds slower, he would've been sprayed! Definitely the closest of three very close skunk encounters over the year...it's only a matter of time.

PM: 5.05 miles easy around south Weber.

I never even saw the skunk. Just heard it and saw Ken and Jace's reaction and threw in a surge.

I think your troll encounter is just a matter of time.

great story...if it would have been a run in march it would have been a leporachan for sure...

I learned from a Curious George cartoon that tomato juice will get the smell of skunk out. You might want to buy some just in case.
