Woke up early to run with the Davis County Crew/Crazies. Nine people showed up this morning so it was a good group. Twinkies, Steve, Ryan, Casey, Lane, Jeff, Sam, Scott (I think) and me!

We did a nice figure 8 run from the Farmington Pond along the lower terrace trail (Twinkies and I were just behind Casey and Lane in front so we missed the turn to the trail and ended up on the firebreak road for a while until we saw them above us and trekked up to meet the rest of 'em!) then down Shepard and up to the BST in Fruit Heights to Bair Canyon. Doing that section from the pond to Shephard completes my coverage of the Wasatch front in Davis County up until Bair - just have that little section between Bair to the East Kaysville park we run with dorsimus a lot.

At Bair we took the lower section - trespassing for a little bit until we made it back to Shephard where we went UP UP UP to the upper terrace trail.

My feet were bugging me again... I'm still not sure what it is as my Chiropractor in-laws don't seem to think it's a problem...

Continued along the awesome upper terrace in a cool fog, then headed back down to the pond.

It was a bit wet overall - but the trails were beautiful and it didn't really rain on us much!

Definitely nice to get out in the morning again!

It sounds like a fun bunch out there. Where you're completing your coverage up there, I'm just beginning mine down here. Definitely something to look forward to! I wish I had a chiropractor for an in-law. :-(
