[pre-race report] Good Luck Broad Street Runners – Philadelphia

Good Luck to all those taking on the the 10 mile Broad Street Run tomorrow.  I just read on the site that it will cap at 26,500 runners this year – up 20,000 from the first time I ran it about ten years ago.  Of those 26,500 I counted about 150 from my hometown of Haddonfield, NJ.  Broad Street is a fast, flat course through the city of Philadelphia that ends with a big party in the Naval Ship yard.  A great race for everyone and the perfect prelude for those with marathon aspirations.  A good race effort (and an endorphine high) often act as motivation to take on the Philadelphia Marathon in the fall.  That was the progression my long distance friends and I took years ago.   So with a mix of nostalgia and excitement I say to those I know who have already commited to this journey – GO FOT IT!
