My base in the past has always been about 5k. I have a couple of loops that I run downtown, and all of them have two flavors: About 5k, or Extended (roughly 4 miles). The core of several of these has been the Inner Harbor, to which an extra mile or so can be tacked on by either taking the path through the condos, or going past the Largest Inland Naval Park in the Whole World. The whole shot is my base this year. On days when I'm crunched for time, I'll do a four miler, but I am essentially running fives instead of threes this Spring.
It feels like it makes a difference. In Slate the other day Meghan O'Rourke quoted a remark someone had made about Smarty Jones in Sports Illustrated: "He was running hard—and he was likin' it." That's kind of where I am right now.
