"Twenty Six!" - "Point Two!" - "Go Navy!" - "Beat Army!" US Naval Academy runners form a circle, extend fists, and shout call-and-response. Jeanne Larrison sings the "Star-Spangled Banner". And we're off! K2 and Roadkill set out too fast, as usual, and then find plenty of miles on which to atone. Blisters throb, knees and hips twinge, calves cramp.

"I smell cows!" The course meanders along rural roads. Mansions overlook rolling vistas, fields of dry soybean and corn stalks. Our Lady of Sorrows Church stands beside a cemetery with a dramatic angel tombstone. A stallion snorts and gallops around his pasture. We discuss systems thinking, first-person absolutist language, travel plans, and food. Happy volunteers greet runners and offer aid. It's a beautiful day for a country ramble with a friend!
