8 miles in a blizzard, up Lacey, around Bountiful/NSL golf area, over to the southern tip, and back down with various turn-offs, about 10 minutes per mile due to the unbelievably deep snow. Afterwards, jogged laps in a tennis court (also super deep snow) with Holly chasing me around for half an hour, another 3 or so. First part was super epic. The very south-eastern tip of NSL is almost entirely unfinished construction, so the roads were unplowed. At one point, I crested a ridgeline, running through knee-deep powder, into a very strong headwind, and the only thing I could see in the distance was the super bright white lights on the oil refineries on the west side. All of the elements combined and I felt like I was in some sort of supernatural post-apocalyptic setting. I don't know how to explain it, but it was pretty darn cool. Forgot to add in earlier... one mile of jogging across campus because I was running late for something earlier in the day. |
