Ah, Saturday. Spent 5 hours getting ready for and taking a family picture. We finished by 3, giving me enough daylifght remaining for a fairly ambitious run to Farmington canyon. The roads were icy, until I got to the dirt roads on C-ville blvd. These were just snowy. The view from the mountains sure beats that from the valley. In many areas, I was the first to track up the new snow. I saw the eagles and hawks coming into the canyons to roost for the night. Slipped and fell 2x. No damage done. I made it to Farmington Canyon just as the sun was setting in the far southwest. Ran a mile plus on pavement back to the gas station for a donut and ride home. 8:43 average for the entire run, which isn't too bad, considering the care I had to take on downhills in the snow. The hot bath afterward felt amazing...I sure got cold waiting for a ride home. |
