I also like the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://annapolisstriders.org/races/bamarathonNew.html">B&amp;A marathon</a>&nbsp; (which I ran last year as my first ever, and loved) and my RB wants to consider the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.frederickmarathon.org/site4.aspx">Frederick Marathon</a> , though that's quite a hike for me. Anyway, I signed up for the <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://annapolisstriders.org/">Annapolis Striders</a>&nbsp; training program again. We run 10 miles this Saturday morning. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>10 miles. Hardly worth getting up for -- we ran that last night after work as a first run after the MCM. I can't help but feel like we should do at least 16. But the experienced ones on the Striders coaching team know best. And anything will help keep the turkey gravy from adding to my waistline. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>March is a long ways off --&nbsp; 5 months.
