We have narrow walking paths here in my neighborhood so when I'm walking my two beasts, I pretty much take up the whole thing. If I come up behind someone who's walking slow, I don't think it's my right to expect them to move, they have as much right to meander slowly as I do to run or whatever, so I will wait until a stretch that has enough space on the sides (there's small trees on both sides most of the way) and then I say "Excuse me" or "On your right" as I make my way around them just so they're not startled by 2 dogs coming up behind them. I think "Coming Thru!" and expecting someone else to move is kind of rude. Now when runners or bikers are on the trails they usually alert you somehow if they're behind you and due to the nature of running and the terrain around the paved trail, I'll move the dogs into the wooded area because a person running or a biker could hurt themselves trying to go around.
I still think she was rude.
