Off the Clock

I went to Ivalo, Finland in 2024 to catch the northern lights near the solar maximum, and liked it so much that I went back for more in Fairbanks, Alaska the following year. Finland bottomed out at -1°F but was windier. Alaska got as cold as -50°F some nights. Closer to home I hike and run, mostly 5Ks.
