Met up with Logan fielding today at the top of North Ogden's divide. Ran to the Peak of Ben Lomand. This was an awesome run today, couldnt have been any better. Cloud cover with a little bit of rain. When we were on the ridge heading to the Peak there was a pretty nasty storm coming in. But we were lucky and didn't come our way. For me this was my first time up to the peak and it was beautiful. I took a bunch of pictures that I will post later when I figure out how to post them. So if any body knows how please let me know.

Little bumbed out that we didnt see any moose or mountain goats, that would have been cool. The dang wood chucks just didn't do it for me. But we did see a wild turkey on the ridge that Logan startled, flew right over his head. The turkey was going for the kill shot!! Pretty funny!!

Avg pace on the way up was slightly over 11:00 minute miles, on the way down we were hovering around 6:50 to 7:00 minute pace. Logan said we just beat the 10 minute guy.

Solid run today, I really enjoyed it alot.

Very cool run.

You have to upload the photos to some other place first (I use google / picasa) and then either paste in the "embed image" code or just use the little picture button in the text editing toolbar right here on FRB.

Thanks Jake. I will see if I can figure this out.
