AM: 12 miles easy
I took a slow, muddy trip through Rock Creek Park before driving with Valerie to Durham, NC for the admitted students weekend at Duke on Friday and Saturday.
The only highlight of the run was passing a friendly horseback rider. The trails in the park get narrow in places, so there isn't always a lot of room to pass. As a runner, I always do my best to announce my presence, walk past them, and say "hello" so I won't spook the horse. Today may have been the first day that I actually got an amicable response from a rider, and I normally just get cold glares from the person on the horse as I tiptoe past.
I've never totally figured that out. "Sorry I just accidentally kicked over that neat mound of poop your horse left on the trail?" I'm not sure why riders are usually so ornery.

A buddy of mine in HS once spooked two mounted horse cops on the Western Ridge by running by them from behind. The horse went crazy and the cops were pissed so he had to get out of there quick by tearing through the woods to safety.
