Weekly walking/runing roundup
What I’m doing: I'm likely to belatedly take Steve Mellott's advice next weekend and walk out by Fort Frederick with my wife.
Why: The Western Maryland Rail Trail runs right near the fort, which saw its first major action in the French and Indian War. We'll probably check out both the fort and the trail.
What else I recommend: If you're willing to travel out of state a bit, Hershey is hosting a stair-climbing race for the American Lung Association. I always find those interesting.
Please note that the Chesapeake Beach Duathlon appears to have been canceled.

I ran Le Petit Dejuiner--translation, the Paris Breakfast Run, the 5k they hold as part of the Paris Marathon Weekend. The race was a fantastic international affair with a nice breakfast and a medal at the end. And it was free!
On Sunday we watched the Paris Marathon, which made me really want to run it!

Beth, that's a fun anecdote. I'd love to see pictures of the event if you have images and some time to upload at baltimoresun.com/racepics.
If not, no worries -- thanks for the story. Out of curiosity, is there breakfast at Le Petit Dejuiner?
