I went down to the Jordan River Park Trail and met up with some fast guys, Jake, Scott, Fritz, Justin, Dan, and company.  There was about 15 of us including Devra Vierkant.  We went North on the trail to 90th and did a loop around the golf course and then up to 7th west and over to connect to the rest of the trail.  As we got there we were at 7.5 so we turned around and came back an as we were crossing 90th south a driver ran the red light an damn near hit some of us! Close call.  We caught back onto the trail and it was head wind city!  The faster guys started picking it up to about a 5:50 pace.  I hung on until 3 miles to go.  I was tired and havnt been training like this so I faded a bit.  I definitely need to do more of these runs! Nice job all and to Devra! Holy crap she is fast!  I did 16 with the group and .25 with my 2 year old Boston when I got home!

So was Devra the only woman there? I thought about coming until I realized I would be out of town. It was probably a good thing!
