2 mile cool

Workout felt good for the most part. Struggled the last 5 minutes of the HM portion. But stuck with the workout and finished. Really pleased with the 5K and 3K efforts. Can feel the speed coming back nicely.

#8 moment of the year. In April we were waiting for the group to show up at the pond and we had some tripped out guy come off the street and started coming towards us. He had something in his hands which looked like a knife. Later we found out from the police report it was a screw driver. Anyway Ken pulls up in the parking lot and the guy comes to Ken's window and acted like he was going to slit his throat. Ken locked his car and called the police. The guy disappeared in the brush and we began our run. A quarter mile up the road we saw a bunch of police lights and as we got closer we saw that they had the K-9 unit out with the guy pinned to the asphault. Crazy stuff in Ogden!

PM

4.40 miles up to Malans Basin for our 5th Annual Christmas Eve run. Solid showing of guys this year. 8 crazy 😜 dudes that decided to make the climb in a snow storm! Great times. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 

Moment #8 

Riley and I decided to an easy long run in the early Spring. We looked up towards the base of Ben Lomand and it looked like there was very little to no snow on the mountain side. So we start our long run from Rainbow Gardens and head North on the Canal Rd. towards pleasant view and then start climbing to the trail head. First mile was perfect then the snow started presenting itself. It was very minimal at first then it got to the point where we were about thigh deep every step. We trudged about 1.5 miles in the snow and it took us almost 40 minutes to get through that section. But overall it was an epic spring run.
