It’s been an exciting week in the Charm City. The Baltimore Kick-Off Event is set for March 31 with a 5k in the morning around the inner harbor and an open bar social at Mother’s that night.  As we like to say around here, “too easy.”  A few of the Baltimore team members chose to celebrate in true We Are One fashion, by getting a great Sunday workout in.

Chris Diller ran in the St. Patrick’s Day 5k this afternoon.  Tonight, Chris and Mark Wheeler played in the opening round of their hockey league’s playoffs.  No word yet on the results, but I imagine it ended with the ice covered in hats shortly after Mark scored the game winner with minutes left in the third period. MARCH 12 UPDATE: Chris scored 2 goals in regulation, 1 of which sent the game into a shootout.  Mark scored on his only penalty shot and helped secure the victory over the Baltimore City Fire Dept. squad.  Congrats to both teams, but Harbor City/We Are One Hockey is moving on to the next round!!!

Baltimore wasn’t finished with the efforts of Mark and Chris.  Erich Raschid and Marty Ensor hit the highway this morning and went to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.  They hiked 9 miles on Old Rag Mountain.  The hike was challenging, but the views more than made up for it.  It might be wise to take these two eagle scouts a little more seriously next time they ask if I want to get up at the crack of dawn to go hiking.

Baltimore is the greatest city in the world.  But this sure is a nice view.

Enjoy the week coming up and get ready for Baltimore’s launch event in 3 short weeks.  The Baltimore team and our growing list of sponsors are putting forth their best effort to ensure the day is something the city will be proud of.

Cheers.
