Amanda Davis's husband Derek died today. I ran daily with Amanda in 2005 & 2006. She and Derek and I ran the Ogden Half Marathon (Amanda's First half marathon ever) and then trained with her for the Wasatch Back Ragnar, some time before they moved in 2007. I am in shock. Derek was just 37 years old. He was hit while he and Amanda were running together at 6:30 a.m. while using crosswalk. The driver, an 18 year old high school student, who accidentally ran a red light. Derek was in critical condition, in ICU last week and seemed to improve until yesterday when he took a turn for the worst. He passed away just a few minutes ago. It seems inconceiveable that you could lose a 37 year old husband and father of 4 to a jogging accident. I am heartbroken for Amanda and their children. Just heartbroken.
