Terry Hershey Trail
Goal:  long run.  Result:  9 miles and wiped out after 45:00.  Out for 2 hours.  Jogging at walking pace on way back as a group of girls walking passed me only after they broke into short runs.   Due to heat switched to a morning run.  Had been too tired to travel this 4 day weekend.  Meant to be climbing 14ers in Colorado.  Terry Hershey park was super busy - everyone trying to avoid heat of the day.  Cyclists, runners, walkers and backpackers.  BTW - what's up with the guys riding mountain bikes that don't yield?  On a 2 foot wide path with grass borders both sides on way back from park, a guy tries to mow me down and squeeze by staying on path.  I didn't see him and he could easily have detoured onto the grass - especially since he had time to yell at me and that was the first I saw him.  I always yield - never a big deal.  That's 3 times recently nearly collided because apparently the bikers think they have right of way and have just held their ground.   Am I missing something? Anyway - may try long run again tomorrow.
