Sadly, our beloved Radda Cafe in Holladay has closed. It's a tragedy, really.  The bake some of the best muffins and scones around. So the group had to switch up plans.  One of the Radda Crew, Frank Dolce, is now a part owner in RawBean cafe on 600 South and West Temple downtown. So we met there at 5:30 am for a run. We had a big group, like 14 people, and we ran up Main Street through downtown and up into Memory Grove, to 11th Ave., and out past the fire station. We returned via the same route.  Running through downtown with that big of a pack was interesting, I've never done that outside of a race context.  The few people that were out no doubt thought we were a very strange sight. That's too bad.  People are fully equipped to be running everywhere, all the time.  It's interesting that the people traveling by their own power are unusual and the one's safely tucked inside of a vehicle get no notice at all.  

 At any rate, at the end of the run, Frank hooked us up with lots of goodies at RawBean, making it a fun morning.

Chad I totally agree with your social commentary. I find it sad that we as people who take care of our bodies are the social "outcasts" so to speak... How you feeling for Sat?
