Hey you all, just a head's up. I am probably going to be really busy this weekend so I will not have much time to update this blog. I'm still hoping to run that cross country 5K (and possibly the 3K as well) tomorrow morning at Oakland Mills High School in Columbia, MD. After that I'm probably going to try and meet some friends for a movie and then lunch. Then after that, I have my five-year high school reunion in Baltimore City for Hammond High School (GO BEARS)!!!! I would not be surprised to be up until the wee hours of the mornin' on Sunday. Fortunately there are a coupla Sunday races in Maryland in the evening if I was feelin' ambitious to get another race in this comin' weekend and if I did not have to work on Sunday evening (I usually tend to work weekend afternooons and evenings, which works out 'cause a lotta the races and events take place in the morning).
On top of all that, I may try to hit up the Howard County Fair in West Friendship for a bit this evening after I get off work. And then, from today through Sunday, Rock Hall (Kent County), Maryland is celebrating it's tricentennial anniversary. It was founded in 1707 and they are doing various things to celebrate for it, like havin' a parade or a crab feast on Sunday afternoon into the evening. I may try to make that if I end up with a lot of extra time this weekend on one of the days. I've been there once, went for a little run through the shaded bayside town (plus the Rock Hall Flat Five foot race has been goin' on there for a while around the Fourth of July) and I really liked it. It has a nice little beach there too right across the street from cozy houses. I may just check it out and if any one is interested in any of the festivities, check out: http://www.rockhallmd.com/300/index.htm
It should have all of the info on the 300th celebration.
It's one of those places on the Maryland Eastern Shore where I can find a good deal of seclusion, and at the very least, distance from all the busy things going on on the home front. It's nice to know that places like that exist where I go and I feel like I'm on vacation, if only for an hour or two, haha. I dunno if I can make it there, I don't wanna go that bad, but it's something I'll definitely consider if I have a lot of extra time and I'll probably try to follow through on it if people end up wanting to go with me too.
Who knows, I may just do a nice run there again if I happen to amke it and have the extra time.
Anyway, thank you for reading. I apologize I probably won't have much time to post that much about this weekend, but I'm hopin' by the beginning of next week I can probably get most of it on here. I hope that all of you have a great weekend and enjoy whatever you end up doing!
Happy 300th Birthday Rock Hall, Maryland and happy early Five-Year Reunion Hammond High School graduating class of 2002 :)
