14.4  mile trail run up towards Mt. Logan.  Trial run for a FKT attempt in a few weeks up to Mt. Logan Peak.  The Mt. Logan race starts at the park right across from my house so it's awesome to not have to travel somewhere for one of the neatest trail courses in the country.  I ran out of time to hit the peak since it took me over two and a half hours to run this far!  This starts at 5,000 and hits 9,000 in five miles so it's a real vertical run.  Had some issues with snow and destroyed a pair of trail shoes but tons of fun!

4,000 ft in 5 miles! Wow. That's a real hill. That monster hill at mile 14 at Ogden will be a breeze. :) See you on Saturday.

Yeah, and I was thinking about Jon, Cody, Paul, and others who did these first five miles as part of the race in June. Crazy course. Is Ogden already this Saturday?! Dang...

Cool run! That is some serious climbing.
