In case you don't know, the Broad Street Run is a 10 mile race down Broad Street in Philadelphia. I've been a spectator to this race many times as my father is (in my biased opinion) a pretty kick ass runner! There have been several times I thought to myself, "I'd like to do that", but the thought usually vanished just as quickly as came.
A few months ago I mentioned to a friend that I'd like to do the run, he agreed to do it with me, and the thought once again vanished from my mind. Two days ago he told me he registered and was looking forward to it. OOPPSS! I must have forgotten to tell him, this is the one goal I never follow through with.
Needless to say, I'm now registered. On May 1, 2011 I will be running down Broad Street with 30,000 other fools. All I can say is it's a good thing I bought myself a gym membership for Christmas! Last night I ran just under three miles, and tonight I'll hit up spin class. I need to get myself in shape and ready to run 10 miles!
I currently have two goals. 1. Don't throw up or pass out before the half way point. 2. Finish!
Isn't this a great picture of runners in the city of brotherly love??
