Weekly walking/running roundup

What I’m doing: I'm tempted to trek way our to McHenry (the town, not the fort) for the Snowflake Chase.

Why: A drive through western Maryland a couple weeks ago took us through some beautiful areas. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it out there this week, however. (Edit: My wife and I will probably be heading down to Washington this weekend instead for a family visit. If we're lucky and take the right walking route, we might catch the unusual site of a crowd in Guy Fawkes masks at the Wikileaks rally).

What else I recommend: I'll be at the Federal Hill run tonight for the first time in months, and I imagine that they're receiving a little bump in general people working to get rid of holiday pounds.

Other options:

During the week - Glen Burnie daily walking program, USATF instruction for coaches,
Weekday runs at Goucher, Federal Hill Monday run, Rockville all-comers group fun run, PGRC weekday runs, ESRC weekday runs

Saturday - Silver Spring Shooting Starr 4-miler, BRRC Saturday long runs, McHenry Snowflake Chase 5 miler, NCR group run,

Sunday - Howard Striders Operation Iceburg #1 (2M/6M), WRRC group run, Jarretsville RASAC North Bend 6.5 miler, BAH3 Sunday run (caveat: Groups like this are by definition a bit off-color)

EXTRA NOTE: The John Lewis Memorial Run has a new date. See steeplechasers.org for details. As always, please refer to each linked page for up-to-date information on any event.

About Exercists
Andrea Siegel, a reporter at The Baltimore Sun, covers mostly crime and courts in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, as well as legal issues. She wishes she was more physically fit, and, as she's more fond of chocolate than exercise, fitness is a challenge. Her partner on a one-mile-plus daily walk is the family dog, a mixed breed named Moxie, and she exercises at the gym where the D.C. snipers once worked out.
Jerry Jackson has been a photo editor at The Baltimore Sun for 14 years and an avid cyclist for more than 30 years. Inspired by the movie "Breaking Away," he started racing as a teenager in Mississippi when leather "brain baskets" were still the norm. He regularly commutes to work by bike and still enters several mountain bike races a year for fun.

Patrick Maynard, who will be writing about running and walking, has been a producer for baltimoresun.com since 2008. In 2009, he tweeted on-course for the Sun from the Baltimore Marathon, finishing in just under 4 hours and almost managing to run the whole time. He sometimes walks to the Sun offices on Calvert Street.

Leeann Adams, a multimedia editor at The Baltimore Sun, also dabbles in content for the mobile website and iPhone app and covers the Ravens via video. She did a triathlon to celebrate her 40th birthday and continues to swim, bike and run -- none of them quickly, though. Her biggest fitness challenge is to balance working, working out, spending time with her husband and being a mom to a 6-year-old boy.

Anica Butler, the Sun's crime editor, is a former high school runner and recovering vegetarian who spent more of her early-adult years on a bar stool than working out. She is currently training (though poorly) for a half marathon and is trying to live a generally healthier lifestyle. She also hates the gym.
