| | My second and last run in Utah. We celebrate Christmas with my side of the family right after Thanksgiving. My family likes to call it Thanksmas, but I say it should be called Christgiving, because why take Christ out of Christmas? Anyway, we all went to IHOP in the morning. All 28 of us. Then I had a small window to go running while everyone else wrapped presents.
It was no longer snowing, but snow was all over the ground. I decided to run to the culvert underpass again. I wanted to get more miles than Thursday. I took a back road to get out to the main road. It's almost a straight shot to the culvert, so it shaves some distance off from how I ran it Thursday, but it was covered in snow, so I had to run slower. I got to the underpass and ran to the opposite side of the freeway. I then ran on a dirt (but mostly snow) road north parallel with the I-15 Freeway. So if anyone was heading north and saw a guy running in a black hoodie and dark blue sweats just north of Cedar City, that was me. I ran until I got tired of running and then turned around. When I crossed under the freeway again I decided to run along the main road instead of taking the short cut. I ran against traffic, but luckily there were only a few cars. I stopped when I got to my sister's street to make sure the traffic was clear. That's when I saw two fast runners, one boy and one girl, behind me. I waved at them as I crossed the street. Then I finished up and enjoyed the rest of Christgiving with my family.
We're home now. It's 1 in the morning on Dec. 2nd. I drove all day Sunday. Now I think I'll go to bed.
