Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-5/14/14

This week finds me travelling again. This time I am in Columbia, MD. I asked the nice people at front desk of the Hampton Inn and Suites if there were running trails available. I was told there was a lake nearby, at it had a trail. I then went to Google and to Map My Run app, but the lake had not been entered as a running area. So, I didn't expect too much.

What I found was a very well laid out course with workout stations along the way. I ran 4.5 miles and did a ton of upper body, core and leg exercises. What a good time and great way to keep in shape while on the road.
