Weekly walking/running roundup

What I’m doing: Having family over and swimming. I might also check out the Mission Possible 5K on Monday, since it's fairly close to home.

What else I recommend: Weekend options are spread over three mornings because of Memorial Day, so there are fewer local races to choose from on any particular day. The Gunpowder neck 10-miler looks intriguing.

Full list of Maryland options:

Weekday events - Monday runs in Federal Hill, PGRC weekday runs at National Harbor, BRRC Group runs at Goucher, Glen Burnie daily walking programs, ESRC daily runs (Salisbury area),
PGRC weekday runs in Bowie, Rockville All-Comers Group Fun Runs, Various state HS championships, Thursday Night Hikes, WRRC Twilight Series Owl 2 Mile Track Run

Saturday - ADC Memorial Weekend Cross Country 5K, NCR Trail Snails Saturday training runs, Frederick Kids Triathlon, Chestertown Tea Party 10 Mile Run & 5K Run/Walk, Gunpowder Neck 10 Miler, Saint John's 5K

Sunday - Strawberry Chase 5K Race, MCVET 5k and 10k, Group Runs at McDaniel, BRRC Patapsco Trail Race

Memorial day - Memorial 4 Mile, Rotary Remembrance Run 5K/1M, Jeremy's Run, Mission Possible 5K

I'm doing the Masser 5 Miler this weekend in Lewes, DE. Now that the summer is upon us, I'll be doing races down there, mostly with Seashore Striders.

Beth - I've been curious about Seashore Striders. They seem to have a fairly large two-state presence. Good luck at the race!

I did the Celiac 10k in Canton/Patterson Park last weekend. I PR'd by 6 minutes or so. And it turns out I should have stuck around for the awards, as I came in 3rd in the 50-59 year old male division (there were only 10 of us).

Next up: the Survivor Harbor 7 on June 11th.

On this morning's run in Patterson Park I saw the crews setting up for Bike Jam tomorrow. I'm not currently a bicycle person, but those who are might want to check it out.

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.
