Today is the 4th of July. There were several races today. Kathy raced and did awesome. I decided that racing hills right now would not be good for me since my hamstring and glut are still bothering me. I followed the plan which called for a 3 mile easy run with strides. Jim went to the trail with me. He has not run with me for quite a while. We ran 2 miles then I did the strides while he ran at a steady pace then we cooled down with the last mile.
There were a lot of people on the trail this morning. It always amazes me when people walk four abreast taking up the whole width of the trail and make no attempt at moving when you ask to pass. This sometimes happens with teenagers who are so involved in their conversations that they are oblivious to the world around them. Today it was mature adults who did not understand that the trail is a two way pathway and they need to let people pass. First we say "on your left". If this doesn't work we say "please may we pass". Then we pass on the grass if they don't move. At this point it occurs to them that they are not using proper trail manners.
