Took a little more work than usual to stir myself out of bed. In fact, my wife was out the door before me for her run with our neighbor, which is pretty unusual. It was snowing and the streets were white and once I was out the door I felt fine. Footing on the snow wasn't great though, and when I would occassionally run across some dry patch it felt like running on grip tape. I've been listening to episodes of "This American Life" on my iPod on the last few solo runs and that has been very entertaining. The show I listened to today had a very entertaining story written by Jhumpa Lahiri. There was also a sappy David Sedaris piece that was not nearly as funny as his other stuff. On my way over to Bonneville Golf course, I ran a couple of snowy fairways on the U of U golf course. Then the snowy fairways at Bonneville. This is usually safe only when the snow is fresh, as frozen chunky snow is a little treacherous. Anyhow, I enjoyed the contrast between white expanse of the fairways and the cold, dark morning sky. |
