Followed it with lots of stretching.<\/p>\n<p>Parked at Davis Creek Canyon, and ran the Bonneville Shoreline to where the BST access trail drops down to\u00a0 Farmington Pond &#8211; right at the big water retention pond. And back.<\/p>\n<p>Also &#8211; I was joined by MVH, at least at the beginning and end.\u00a0 He took a detour at the start and then caught up with me as I was returning. I think he went a bit farther down the BST too &#8211; maybe all the way to Skyline. I waited for him at the car\u00a0 and we drove back eating delicious waffle wafer cookies.
