Mindset, Mental Health and Miles by Dr. T

Hope in the Midst of Tragedy: the Story of the Amy Schuerholtz Metz and Charm City Run Scholarship presented by Saucony
We started the Amy Schuerholz Metz and Charm City Run Scholarship presented by Saucony back in 2015 after a former store lead, Anthony, had a great idea to support our local high school students. This was a chance for us to not only support these great young men and women, but share their stories with Charm City Run Nation.
The Live. Give. Run. Foundation: Shopping Local Makes a Difference
Thanks for the privilege of introducing our Live. Give. Run. Foundation. The creation of this 501c3 and the branding of the foundation is a continuation of what you have been helping us do for the past 19+ years. One of the best elements of hanging around for two decades is that you get to work with some great people. Two of those individuals informed me it was time to formalize our giving with an actual foundation and a name.
Why Join A Training Group - A Testimonial by TJ Taurisano
I had never been a part of a running training group before signing up with Charm City Run Annapolis in February 2021. I knew after the year of the pandemic, I needed something to push me towards getting back into shape and always enjoyed running as a casual hobby. Running with Charm City changed that hobby into an obsession!
20th Anniversary of the Run to Remember by Josh Levinson
I want to welcome you to the 20th Anniversary and last Run to Remember. In the fall of 2001, we were vacationing with family in Rehobeth Beach. We were still living in Austin but had made the decision to move home with Ben, who was nine months old, and open Charm City Run. We may have still been looking for our first location or we may have had the current Timonium location in our sights.
50 for 50 by Josh Levinson, Charm City Run Owner & Founder
For many years I thought about how cool it was that National (now Global) Running Day always fell around my birthday, June 3rd. Kelly Maurer our training director, former Annapolis store lead and friend, has this obsession with being epic. She has been epic and has attempted races that feature ultra-length and mental challenge. When Charm City Run was searching for something EPIC to do on National Running Day, Kelly had an idea for a 24-hour race in the Annapolis Towne Centre. As we know and appreciate, runners are a little funny, perhaps a little nuts, and to insiders, just the right amount of crazy.
Brain Insights for Better Run Training and Relationships by Dr. Melissa Hallmark Kerr
As runners and fitness enthusiasts, we know what it’s like to transform our psyches in as little as 20 sweaty minutes – i.e., to go from feeling flat, or off, to feeling good again. This is the real reason why we always find a way to move, even when we’re injured. Who doesn’t want to feel better? When we feel better, we treat ourselves and others better.
Taking it to the Next Level with the 24 Hour Challenge
In 2018 we took the challenge to the next level, we decided to do a 24 Hour Challenge at our Annapolis location and invite our staff and our running community to run a one mile loop around the Annapolis Town Centre for 24 Hours. Yes that sounded crazy too but why not give it a try. Well we did it and it was a great success so we are back for another year!
"How Running Can Help Solve Your Problems" by 2020 Amy Schuerholz Metz and CCR Scholarship Recipient Dafne Estrella
Whoever said running from your problems doesn’t solve them probably wasn’t running fast enough. It may not be effective in solving them, but running in general usually makes problems seem significantly easier to work through. At least, easier than the act of forcing your body to run a certain distance or time.
