As if it is not challenging enough to find the time to run in my busy life, I ran into a hurdle that someone else created. Last weekend Sam's best friend George got married to his longtime girlfriend Becca at 11am on Saturday. I couldn't think of better time to demolish the hopes of a 16 mile run. Luckily, I took advantage of one of my unused vacation days (to my boss' horror) and completed the run on Friday.
Figuring out when to run was the easy part. Locating a suitable place in Baltimore to run was a challenge. As an infrequent visitor of the charm city I am unfamiliar with the neighborhoods and parks in the city. And Sam and I learned that even people that are familiar with the city don't have a clue as to a good place for a long run. So on a cold rainy Friday morning we tried to navigate our way to a park near our friends' home. Once we arrived we struggled finding an appropriate loop that we need for rehydration purposes. After trudging around the park for about 1.5 miles arguing the second .75 miles we decided to head back to our hotel and run on the treadmills.
I must say that I appreciated the four star workout room and thanked my stars that I was not back at the grungy South Branch Inn. With the TVs in front of the treadmill I was able to reminisce with a few episodes of 90210...that Brandon, he's always getting himself into some kind of trouble!
