Lewis Peak tonight. Left the trail head at 7:00 or so, I'm going to have to change up the schedual once the family gets back, but for now I am loving the late evenning runs up on the high ridgelines. Beautiful run tonight, Lewis is not the most stunnig peak in the area, but the trail up offers some of the best views. Mt Ogden to the south and Ben Lomond to the north, ogden and ogden valley to the east and west. I felt great for having 60 miles and 10,000 vert on my legs already this week. I wasn't breaking any speed records, but kept a run going all the way from the trailhead to the peak and back. Sometimes shuffeling along isnt much faster than walking, but it sure feels better to be a runner rather than a hiker. Peak time 1:01, RT 1:58. One crash and burn, one mose and one calf, one good sized buck, lots of sage grouse. Just under 11 miles, 3200 vert. |
