This week I had my first (and hopefully only) wipeout…tripped on the sidewalk on a very early morning run, resulting in a bruised elbow, knee, and ego. But thankfully no major injuries, open wounds, or ripped clothing. Phew!

| Running in circles |
I was in Baltimore this weekend, staying at the Aloft hotel in Arundel Mills. I asked the guy at the front desk for suggestions on a route and he didn’t understand why I would want to go out running in “this weather”. It was 24 degrees and sunny, tropical compared to some of those wicked cold January runs. One of his suggestions was to run laps in the mall with the mall walkers. I can’t imagine how many laps I would have had to do! So off I went, blindly, and this is what 15 miles of “I don’t know where I’m going” looks like. It turned out to be a bit hilly too – it’s definitely unnerving to feel yourself running downhill, knowing that you will have to run back up the hill to get back!
Total distance covered
26 miles
