Tidbits: Boston Marathon updates; event questions; Lel in London

As we enter the weekend of the Boston Marathon, we've posted an updating feed of marathon tweets on the right portion of this blog (courtesy of Runner's World via Candus Thomson).

Did you run the Maryland Half marathon in previous years, and if so, are you planning to follow it to its new location in Columbia this year? How do you feel about the move?

---

Via Baltimore Spokes, I just found out about a neat-looking bike event in August. Is anyone planning on going to this? (It's understandable if you don't know yet: There's lots of good competition for cyclists' short-term attention.)

The Cub Run Triathletes group has a new route. From a recent e-mail (also via Thomson):

Meet at 2721 Technology Blvd in Annapolis Junction at 5:45 Pm same as we did for the friday night rider last year. We pull out at 6 PM. Expect groups of varried speeds - and see our files section for the cue sheets - assume 20-25 miles, easy pace this first night out.

Caveat: I know several folks whose "easy" rides would exhaust me. You have been warned.

Martin Lel enjoys the idea of running the London Marathon, but he's not too confident about his chances of winning the Sunday race.

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.
