Back to the title of this post...it was a busy weekend! Thanks to Erin/ET for hosting a fun TRY shindig on Saturday. There were lots of laughs, and I enjoyed the company of running mates. I hope everyone else did, too. Thanks to Ivy for bringing the fun game :)
Sunday was a busy race day! Sunday morning was the Teal Ribbon 5k in the Inner Harbor. It was a beautiful morning for a race! Erin/Escalade, Terry, Ally, Catherine, Jake, Katie, and Erin's parents participated in the event. It was Erin's first 5k, and Jake gave a great 5th place showing. Make sure to congratulate Erin, Jake, and all the participants.
Terry and Catherine also participated in the Strathmore Run 4 miler Sunday afternoon. That is a double race for them! I can't wait to hear how it went. I can imagine it was a tough course with the hills in that area!
Did I miss anyone in the races this weekend?
This week I am doing half mile intervals. I plan to do a 1 mile warm up and cool down with 0.5 mile intervals as follows:
- 0.5 mile at speed
- 0.25 mile recovery
- 0.5 mile at speed
- 0.25 mile recovery
- 0.5 mile at speed
- 0.5 mile recovery
- 0.5 mile at speed
Erin/ET's birthday is tomorrow so try to show up and wish her a happy birthday! I would imagine there will be a group outing after running to celebrate :)

Kelly's stalking skills are impressive. I did not even intend to do the Parks Run. That was a "game time decision" sort of thing.
And being further back in the pack, I had no idea that Jake was fifth! That's fun. (And Lockheed Martin men were 2nd, 4th, and 5th.)
As for running when you're sick, I'll owe you that one. But I can advise not to stay up partying til 3 AM then getting up to cheer for people the next morning.
I did really appreciate the crowd support on Sunday morning though! It was very nice of everyone to come out and ring-a-ling and hoot and holler.
Ok, I did look this up for you quickly (via Hal Higdon):
If you need to take more rest days--because of a cold or a late night at the office or a sick child--do so. The secret to success in any training program is consistency, so as long as you are consistent with your training during the full 18 weeks of the program, you can afford--and may benefit from--extra rest.
Glad everyone could come out Saturday, especially those who had to race Sunday, who had a training run to suffer through, those who were jonesing for a case of the meat sweats, or anyone who had to buy tampons. Your commitment to running and drinking, both in mass quantities, is inspirational. Also, thanks for the birthday wishes!
