August 3

AM: 10 miles easy

PM: 7 miles easy/moderate

Ran a super relaxed run through Rock Creek Park in the morning, over some hills on the trails. After work, I met Dirk for an out-and-back on the Capital Crescent, where we had a brief "Fox" encounter, as well as a classic Capital Crescent pissing match.

Let me elaborate. For whatever reason, random guys are fond of challenging me on the Capital Crescent, and this only really happens to me on this trail. Occasionally I'll pass some bozo wearing Nike Shox and baggy shorts who will suddenly start hammering to 1.) keep up with me or 2.) surge ahead when I run up on them before falling off. I need a name for these guys, this phenomenon...Capital Crescent Cockfighters, maybe?
