Treadmill runs at 11 are not ideal, but Iturned it into a hill workout. Almost 1000 vertical feet.

First ever REAL trail run. From the north ogden divide all the way up to Ben Lomond peak. Took me just over 3 hrs. I was pretty happy with how it went. Saw 2 moose, 4 mountain goats, and several deer. Perfect introduction to the trails.

Basically the skyline 50k route. Started at North Fork campground and headed up the trail towards the saddle. Section was tough because of all the trail overgrowth. Cruised down to the divide nice and easy, then started the climb towards Lewis peak. It was pretty steep, and I wasn't ready for it. I made it up pretty slowly and headed towards the peak. Didn't go all the way up because the snake stops started to get annoying. Headed towards wind surfer beach where Katie picked me up. Tough run but a fun one!

12:35 avg pace

5,980 feet elevation gain.

Because of my on call weekend didn't get up in the mountains. Instead I got just a short quality workout in tonight. Lower mileage week, but probably a needed one.
