Notes
Ran into the Easter Seals walk while coaching this evening. The first few of us managed to run around them on the road and get to the bridge before they did, but not everybody made it and the walkers aren't usually very considerate about letting people pass by them on the narrow areas for some reason.
During the workout (1200s at the soccer fields) I went to the near corner and told the Easter Seals folks to watch out since runners would be coming towards them but that I'd told the runners to stay to the inside so "they wouldn't get in your way" - which the walkers didn't realize was my way of telling them to stay to the outside. It worked until they came to the first puddle after which they covered the entire path again and forgot about the runners barreling down on them, but at least we could go into the infield here rather than having to jump a railing to run on a highway.
