shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3 - Blue
Limitless Vertical Challenge, Day 5
Disappointment at the Palgrave West Roller Coaster
I had a much shorter sleep than expected when I awoke to the sound of 'Bent yelling, "Brody! BRODY!!!! No! NO!!! NO!!!" I flew out of bed and ran down the stairs, nearly turning an ankle. I assumed he had escaped through the gate. But it was a skunk attack.
AdventureDog took it hard. He's the loyal sidekick - not the ringleader - so he didn't have his face right in the skunk's butt like BazingaDog apparently did. But A-Dog is a scaredy-dog who takes things personally. He was too upset to look us in the eyes. He was sure he'd done something wrong. The skunk shampoo worked pretty well on him.
BazingaDog has been through a couple of iterations of skunk smell remover and he still smells pretty bad.
After the dust settled around home, I went for a short run to Palgrave East. After yesterday's run on our property, I imagined I could collect some elevation gain by running the roller coaster double track. Unfortunately, the rolling hills are a little lower and my Ambit barely noticed some of them. I did some repeats of the biggest hill and came home. It wasn't a big day but I think I should be able to reach Level 3 in the Challenge over the next two days. It's weird that I barely felt my sore heel yesterday in the cool weather but in today's warm weather, I felt everything.
