Hoka One One Stinson B/Combo XT- Hybrid Running Shoe | Boulder Running Company


Hoka One One Stinson B/Combo XT- Hybrid Running Shoe | Boulder Running Company


My new Running shoe. Although my family teases me about wearing my "Shape Ups" for a trail run, They are the greatest. They actually make you want to run uphill. On the down hills they take away the pounding. After Squaw Peak 50 My toes were numb for the next 4 trail trail runs. Which was two weeks. I started wearing these Hoka's and the numbness has gradually left.
They are the Cadillac of trail running shoes.
Any one that say Barefoot or "0" drop shoes are the way to go, does not run the rough trails for as long as I do or will not be running in the next few years due to injury.

Mineral Basin













I left Friday morning from Tibble Fork Reservoir and decided I was going to go all the way to Mineral Basin. Mineral Basin leads to the back side of Snowbird Ski Resort. I have left to do this several times but always get distracted with a different route as the dirt road leaving Tibble Fork is kind of boring.

I persevered and got above the campers. I not only made it to mineral basin but also Ant Knolls which is an aid station on the Wasatch 100 course. Ant Knolls is on the back side of Brighton Ski Resort.
I ran into a few mines and also some jeep roads that have turned into streams as the snow is still melting up high.

One of the most beautiful runs I have been on.
