In preparation for the DC Rock and Roll Half Marathon coming up in a couple of weeks it is time to start increasing my miles. This weekend I went for an 8.5 mike run throughout the streets of Baltimore. I incorporated my favorite loops around Fort McHenry and the Inner Harbor.

This was a solo run, which can always get boring at times. However I recently discovered a new app called Strava. The app will record your run using GPS then map out the whole run and compare your times to others who have run the same routes. It’s a great way to keep yourself motivated when you don’t have a buddy to run with. If you haven’t already heard about it, I would highly recommend checking it out!

Have a great week!

Today I ran 3 miles.  2.5 at a consistent pace and then finished with .5 of interval training (sprint then jog).  Following the run I did a back and biceps workout.  On Monday I had a 4 mile run followed with a chest and triceps work out. On Tuesday I did 4.5 miles and abs.

This week in Baltimore, Scott Kirby and Dan Valerino headed to the Merritt for a long bike ride in their We Are One attire.  Additionally, Mike Kirby ran 2 miles and completed a 3 mile bike ride.

But the exciting news this week comes from Northern Baltimore County.  The members of team Baltimore are in the initial planning stages with a boy scout troop from Hereford to put together a May 2013 event to raise money for the cause.  Stay tuned as we plan to release more details over the coming months.

Enjoy the week.

This week has been a solid week of training, so far.  On Tuesday I did 3.5 miles and chest and triceps workout.  Wednesday I ran for 4 miles and did an abs workout. Today I did interval training for 2 miles and a one mile jog followed by a back and biceps workout.  I hope everyone’s week is going well.

This weekend Team Baltimore headed up North to do some indoor rock climbing at Earth Treks in Timonium, MD. Graham Becker, Perry Menzies, Jason Cimino and Drew Vogt got in a good two hour climbing session doing a combo of wall climbing and bouldering. Being rock climbing rookies you feel great early on in the climb, but it doesn’t take long before your whole body begins to get fatigued and you develop the shakes. Climbing is, without a doubt, a fantastic full body workout. If you have a rock climbing gym nearby you should absolutely consider going at some point!

Hi everyone, 

Another good workout in Ohio.  4 miles and a legs work out.  With the help of a friend in the gym, I was able to do resistance training with a resistance bad.  It is a difficult and great alternative to machines and platform lifts.

Today I did a four mile run along with an abs workout.  It was a struggle to get started but after the first mile it felt good.  I recently signed up for a half marathon, so I am slowly increasing my mileage from my typical 2.5-3.5 miles a day. 

CEO, Matt Wood, also showing his support today by running 5 miles.  His run was done in Washington DC.

Good Evening We Are One Nation!

I hope you all have been surviving the cold weather that has been plaguing the East Coast this past week. Down here in Baltimore our hearts and bodies have been warmed by the recent AFC Championship win over the New England Patriots. In an effort to stay active, even during the coldest week of the winter, Team Baltimore took to the streets for a nice run around our Federal Hill neighborhood. Our 3.2 mile jog took us down around M&T Bank Stadium and back up to the top of Federal Hill for a gorgeous overlook of the Inner Harbor.

All of us with Team Baltimore hope you have a good week in the lead up to the Super Bowl. If any of you are in the Baltimore area feel free to let us know, and to join us for watching the game!

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose!

Hi Everyone,

This week I shifted my workouts to the afternoons/evening.  It has been freezing cold in ohio all week along with snow fall last night.  

I did three miles on the treadmill followed by an upper body work out.  It was a great workout and a great day. 

Before the Ravens played the Patriots on Sunday, Drew Vogt, Dan Valerino, Jason Cimino, and Chris Diller took a 3 mile run around Federal Hill and the inner Harbor.  It was a beautiful day for the workout that was capped over by a great Baltimore victory.

Enjoy the week,

Team Baltimore
