This was my NASTIEST run EVER.
Imagine a scenic jaunt along Gladiola street, (3200 West) from 2100 South to 500 South.
The sights: Cement plant, plastic distributor, dumpster storage yard, power lines, fan manufacturer, vacant lots, etc.
The smells: Detergent manufacturer, actually smelled good. The dumpster yard, horse manure and stagnant water from a holding pond were kind of stinky, not to mention the omnipresent diesel exhaust.
Route and scenery aside, this was a pretty good run. For one, I left in the middle of work. For two, it was a balmy November day with temps in the 50's. Can you say shorts and sleeveless?
On the downside, some joker stole my pullover. I left it right outside the door at work. When I came back 45 minutes later...gone. I guess one of the assemblers decided they could add it to their wardrobe. I'm sorta ticked, cuz that was my overshirt for the Ogden Marathon. I wore it for the first six miles before shedding. At the same time, it's hard to get very worked up over a shirt I bought at DI.
