« Baltimore 2011 Marathon Course revealed | Main | Annapolis 10-mile race, set for Sunday, unlikely to be rescheduled »

August 25, 2011

Weekly walking/running roundup

What I’m doing: Probably enjoying one or two last day trips with my wife, who will soon be on a Czech Republic teaching gig for 10 months.

What I recommend: Back when I worked in Annapolis, I always meant to see a game at the Baysox stadium. I still haven't done that, so whether out of curiosity or guilt, I'd urge runners to check out their 5K on Sunday. (And please, if you go, tell me how it is.)

EDIT: The Annapolis 10-miler is off, thanks to Irene.

Full list of Maryland options:

Weekday events - Thursday Night Hikes, Federal Hill Runners, 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, HCS GIRL, HCS summer series #5, Free Trail Run at Oregon Ridge Park, Free Trail Run @ Gunpowder Belair Rd.

Saturday - NCR Trail Snails Saturday training runs, Chaptico Classic, Cape Horn Park Kids Fun Run, MPS/MES Race Back to School Fun Run, PGRC Women's Distance Festival/Run-Walk for Haiti 5K, Spring Ridge Sprint Triathlon

Sunday - Group Runs at McDaniel, Annapolis 10-miler, Bowie Baysox 5K & Kids Fun Run, Get Ready! Get Set! Get Fit! 5K Run/Walk

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.
