Figured I would get in a nice run before the 1000’s of calories at Thanksgiving dinner.  Took off from 22nd headed to the top of the BST swithcbacks above Beus Canyon and on the way back did about half of Malan’s and then up to the 1st switch back on the Ogden side of Indian Trail.  The snow made the trail in Taylor canyon fun . . .a nice cushioned surface and smoothed out the rocky stretches.  I have been trying to do more up and down training to get used to shifting gears throughout a long run, this route seems to fit the bill. Not sure of the miles but took about 2.5 hrs.

Last Ben Lomond

Last trip for the year up Ben Lomond Peak this morning.  Had a great solo run! The trail was a little treacherous,  water ice in the runnel on the switchbacks, snow, mud, all the fun stuff.   The trail was pretty deserted, a day hiker or two and a scout troop with a few lost hikers?? After the saddle the tracks in the snow got pretty sparse . . . .not too many floks headed up that high this time of year.  The wind was freezing  and whipping hard out of the North East , so I traversed onto the south face of the peak and followed goat trails to the peak. Getting to the peak and looking at the register (glad to see it was repaired) . . .I saw who the other crazies were . . . .Local ultra guys Corey Johnson and Tom Remkes (maybe I followed Wasatch Speed Goat trails) had been up a few days earlier and a couple other  local ultra runners on Turkey day.  Beautiful day, tough run . . .wore me out worse than usual.  A slow 1:50 up and 3:10 rt , 16ish miles and a little under 4000 ft of climb.
