Philadelphia - Broad Street Run

Yesterday I received an email from Lisa, one of my oldest friends (yeah, we're old!), wanting to know if I wanted to run the Broad Street Run in Philly in May.  Sounded interesting, but it's the same day as the Long Branch 1/2 Marathon.  But you know what?  Running a race with a friend is way better than running one alone, at least I think so!  It's a 10 miler & after reading the entry page, I'm signing up!

It's the biggest 10 mile race in the Country.  30,000 runners!  Now that's a lot of runners.  & it sounds like fun & again, I'm glad that I won't have to be running it by myself.  I just hope that I can keep up with Lisa because she can run a lot further than I can.  She's even run a marathon before, but that was a long long long long time ago.  Sorry Lis!  That was just me being funny.

I ran 4.25 miles today.  Yes, I count the quarters and halves of miles as well.  Whatever, it all adds up!  Last week was a little bit of a bust workout wise, so I have to get back in the groove.  Training is getting better, but I still haven't had the chance to make it to any of the Sandy Hooker swim clinics on Friday night.  I was going to go this past Friday, but I got caught up after work doing errands & running around.  Always some excuse to not workout, which is bad!

This week my goal is 20 miles in the running department.  I see that the snow is melting (not fast enough) & I am hoping that I can do my long run outside.  Wishful thinking!  Click on the link & check out the Philly race.  Hope to see you at the finish line!
