The Half Marathon

Sally has not completed a half marathon in this lifetime and Alice has completed the NY marathon in 2005. Sally witnessed Alice crossing the finish line and after seeing her face she decided a marathon was not something she needed to add to her life goals list. Alice after finishing the NY marathon, declared it ticked off her list and was not to be repeated.

So why this endeavor?

Alice has been running around Baltimore learning the new hood (and no it's not like the Wire, we are on East Baltimore not West!) and decided it was a half marathon, not a full one.

Sally has been inspired by her longtime friend Rosie Puff who just marched across Wales.

The half marathon is 13.2 miles and conveniently passes within 2 blocks of Alice's new house. It takes in the Sites of the self declared "Greatest City in America" and ends in Camden Yards, the local baseball teams home stadium.

We hope it will be a great race and are looking forward to both the training and celebratory Natty Boh (local brew) at race completion.
