Did a fun snow covered trail run on the Bonneville shoreline trail in Draper with jun and scott. Nice to meet you both! That was really fun and it was a gorgeous morning with the full moon over the awakening valley with fog settled below us everywhere. I only slept 4.5 hours which is not enough for me, and then on the drive down to the trail the food I ate the night before began wanting desperately to exit and it was not a pleasant drive. By the time I met jun and scott at the trail I wasn't feeling well at all. We started up the trail but I told them to go on. Then I lost 3-4 pounds next to the trail almost instantly and felt almost instantly better. I covered up the mess for the benefit of myself and others who would be passing by there multiple times and then went back to the car to charge my garmin and rest for a few minutes. Then I headed up the trail again. I was really slow because I was tired and my body felt weak from fighting off whatever was in the bad combo of food I had eaten the night before. But my feet felt great and totally recovered from the barefoot new years excursion. I met jun on his way back at about mile 3 and then I started going faster to keep up with him. I was warmed up by this time and it felt great. It was a really enjoyable run, I really like that trail. My feet felt great in the FF's but the traction on those things is non-existent which makes it a little challenging on the super steep parts of the trail. My next shoe purchase is going to be the FF treks. They have a lot of traction and have great reviews as a trail running shoe. I ended up doing less than mileage than jun and scott, here's what I did: 6.2 miles - HR: 139 - Elevation: 1435ft - Time: 1:19.
