Back in Baltimore (albeit, an overcast Baltimore) , I could not pass on the opportunity to go out for a late morning run down to the city’s famous Inner Harbor. Plus, for the first time in a couple of weeks, I was able to walk down stairs without experiencing pain in my left foot. Starting at Yolando Road, I ran around Stadium Place (i.e., the site where Memorial Stadium--home of the Colts and Orioles--use to stand) down to 33rd Street. Following the Baltimore Marathon route for the next mile or so, I headed down 33rd then turned up Gilford Avenue. After a few blocks, I crossed over to St. Paul then headed down to the Inner Harbor by taking one lap around the square at the historic Mount Vernon Place. Once at the Inner Harbor, ran up and down the north-side of the harbor taking in the view. The docks and shopping malls were pretty much the same from the last time I ran around this part of Baltimore; however, there are many more pricy condos along the south side of the harbor and a new Legg Mason building on the north side. After enjoying the fresh sea air of the Chesapeake, I headed over to Camden Yards and took a lap around the MB&T Stadium (by the Jonny Unitas statue) and Orioles Park before heading back to Yolando Road. The total distance of this run was 13.1 miles at an easy pace.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
