Chasing and Escaping

This morning, I managed to do my 13.6 mile route to Old Town via Custis Trail East and Mt. Vernon Trail. By the time I reached the Mt. Vernon Trail, I noticed a fair number of running groups out and crowding trail. In righteous indignation, I picked up the pace to pass a fair number of runners. At point where one can take Four Mile Run or Mt. Vernon Trail, I followed one runner who broke off from his group and managed to pass him near the marina.

Because I picked up the pace, I managed to finish my run in 1 hour, 56 minutes, and 30 seconds.
