Re: Baltimore 10, who is in?

I'm in. Most likely that it. My knee is getting better day-by-day. I still cannot get a full stride though I did my 4.25 this AM. The training time is about 15 seconds off and though I'm sweating some, I'm not raising the heart rate. Look for me to be walking down hills and running the flats and up hill. The first hill s/be a doozy -- going down to cross the JFX.


Look for me. I'll be wearing running shoes, shorts and a t-shirt.

My wife, Andrea, and I will be there! We've got a sitter coming to the house at 5:45am, which hopefully leaves us enough time to grab our race packets by 7. It'll be a bit of a scramble before the race. Give me a call (301 305-3787) if you'd like to meet up somewhere (before or after). I wouldn't mind using Jerry as a pacer...

Looking forward to it! The race part, that is, not the 5am wake-up.....

I'm sleeping until 6:30.


Sorry. Just had to throw that in there. If it makes you feel better, you won't have to administer insulin to a cat first thing much less 3 pills to another cat... and feed the dog, 8 more cats and 10 fish. Then I go to the Zoo for the race.

Re: Baltimore 10, who is in?

Guys: Be sure you have a GPS and also a map. The GPS will likely take you some round-about way that's the shortest distance. Do not discount the fact that this is Baltimore. Baghdad is safer than some parts of Baltimore City. Bypass the GPS as needed but stay on the main roads.

From the South, I suggest 95 to 395 to Pratt Street to President (right) which leads to the JFX to the exit for 28th Street/Druid Hill Park. From the west, a GPS will take you to the end of I-70 to Rt. 40, etc. That can be scary, too though it is a direct drive. From the North, if on 95, might not be a bad idea to consider 695 West by White Marsh to I-83/JFX South.

Warning: Animal cruelty humor ahead...... Just feed the fish to the cats. Then you'll have less to deal with next time. Unless they're piranahs. Then feed the cats to the fish.

You've never seen these cats in water... besides, after what happened to the couch, the piranahs would suffer painful deaths. I wouldn't be dishing out meds unless health insurance was up to date.
