What a wonderful time of year to prepare for a Spring re-birth. After Baltimore Half-Marathon, I felt something I had not felt in a long while~~~Alive. I enjoyed all the wonderful crowds and support along the streets of Baltimore. There were relays, 5k, half marathons and marathons. It is one of the most difficult 13.1 races I have participated in but it is the 4th time I have done it so I knew what grueling hills I was in for and enjoyed it any way with all the supporters especially BGR, a group to increase healthy running lifestyle through running geared toward African American women and decease Hypertension and Diabetes.
It was great to see all the Hopkins Medical Community, Frederick Road Runners and people running in honor of loved ones. It was my 15th half marathon and 3 rd half this year. Nothing spectacular @ 2:34 but better than Frederick half @ 2:54 and Disney at 2:44. Not near PR of 2:00 but I had fun. Not sure what is next just vow to keep participating and encouraging others to stay active and have fun. Miles of smiles :)
