After packing up and before catching my flight back to Salt Lake City, I headed out for a late morning run in a cloudy and wet Baltimore.  The rain steadily came down my run that started at Yolando Road where I ran over to and around Stadium Place to 33rd Street.  Then flowing part of the Baltimore Marathon course, ran to Gilford Avenue then up Saint Paul Street.  I headed down Saint Paul and over to Mt. Vernon Square where I took a lap around the Washington Monument before heading down to Camden Yards.  Passing Orioles Park, I took Pratt Street to Emory Street where I ran by the birthplace of one of Baltimore’s most famous residents, Babe Ruth.  Continuing up Pratt Street I ran to the historic Mt. Clare Station, which is now the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum that houses numerous antique trains.  Before heading back to Yolando Road, I jogged up to Lombardi Street past the Hensley Market to Union Square.  The total distance of this run was 12.5 miles at an easy pace.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Sounds like a good end to your trip. Welcome back to SLC. Not sure if the cold this morning is a good welcome home present or not. It looks like we are pretty close in ability. Let me know if you are interested in doing any of the longer training runs together. My current plan is to run on the marathon course every Sat (minus race weekends) until about two weeks out. I did 21 last Saturday and want to stick with a 20ish mile long run. That being said if you are interested in doing part of the run I'm willing to meet up. I do all my running on the fringes of the day so as not to interfere with family/work time. Also, I am planning on doing the SLTC Winter Series in Jan/Feb. I'll stop hijacking your blog. Let me know if anything sounds interesting to you.

Adam, I was thinking of asking you the same thing. I'm absolutely planning on running the Marathon course on a regular basis. I initially had the incorrect posting for Tuesday on my blog (just updated it), but I worked the Olympus High School to 6200 South and Highland Drive section of the course into my Tuesday run. Usually, I like to sleep in a little bit on the weekends, but I'm fine with going out for an early run. Last year I did three long runs (i.e., 24, 26, and a 28) on or around the course leading up to the race on the first weekend of each month (i.e., Jan-Mar). However, for the Saturdays this month, I'm just planning to take it relatively easy by running between 13-17 miles (10k of this distance with the Salt Lake Running Company group that meets up at 8:00 am) at an easy pace. However (depending on the weather; that is, if we do not have an inversion), I'm planning a long run for New Year's Day morning over parts of the course (if not this day, then hopefully Saturday the 2nd). Currently, I'm thinking about running a 26-miler on this date (off the course, I usually add on miles by running up to the mouth of City Creek Canyon then through the Avenues and back up to the U where I get back on the course); that is, it will be a great way to start off 2010! Let me know if you are interested and/or what are your plans for early January 2010. Keep up the running (you are sure to break your PR and maybe the infamous sub-6:00-pace mark of 2:37:12)!

Hi Rossy, That sounds like a good plan. I like the New Year's Day run the best. Let's get in contact as the day approaches. I missed it are you thinking about doing the SLTC Winter Series or any of the Striders' Races?

From Rossy on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 11:16:07 from 151.151.73.165

Sounds great Adam, I'll touch base with you near the end of the month. Also, probably not in regards to the Winter Series or Striders' Races (I have not heard that much about the latter, I'll have to look into these races). However, I should probably run more shorter-distance races to improve my speed, so I might eventually signup for the SLTC Series or another race before the marathon. Run on!
