Solid showing at the pond this morning. Jared, Jason, Ken, Riley and I. 

Headed 4 miles up to the canyon

2 mile pickup @ MP(5:29;5:26)

2 mile cooldown

Crazy weird this morning. Before we started our run we were waiting for Ken to show up. This guy comes off of 21st street and starts shining a flashlight at us from a distance and slowly starts making his way towards us and doesn't say anything. Ken finally showed and the guy starts walking towards Ken's truck and starts staring at Ken. I ask the guy if he needed help with anything then out of nowhere he pulls a knife out and starts pointing it at Ken and is saying stuff then puts the knife to his own neck. Ken called the cops and the guy is slowing walking away from us still pointing the knife. Well 10 minutes later about quarter mile up the road we see 4 cops and the dude pinned to the asphault in handcuffs. Guy was tripped out on some good stuff thats for sure. Man I love Ogden!

Very freaky! I have several women friends who run early morning here in IF and that would have been a very scary situation for them to encounter.

Jeff it was pretty interesting. Definitely would've been alot scarier if I was solo.
