Penn's Landing Lunchtime Run on 06/07/2011

Race St. Pier & Promenade

I decided to run to the Delaware River at lunch to check out the new pier & promenade at the end of Race. St.  Continued on down Columbus Blvd., turned around at The Moshulu and headed back towards Walnut St.

 
The sidewalk was crowded with lunch-goers and it was interesting dodging pedestrians!

Schuylkill River Trail Run - 06/02/2011

My turn-around point

Today was a breezy 79° in Philadelphia, way cooler than yesterday's 95° oven-like temperature.  A headwind on the way out made the run more challenging!  This made the return run easier with wind at my back.  Great day to be outside indeed!

** UPDATE **
Ted won his age group at the recent 2011 Broad Street Run! Congrats, Ted!

This is Ted, my running hero, who is a bit camera shy! He raced the 2008 Broad Street Run 10-miler in 61 minutes and finished in the top fifteen of his age group.

Saw him at the gym on a Spin bike during our lunch break today. He hasn't been running much due to knee issues. No worries, he says, as the first corporate race is months away.

Healing vibes & more leg speed to you, Ted!

A Spring Day In Philly

Who could resist a gorgeous Spring day? I surely could not! As lunch time came about, I laced up my running shoes and went for a run.  All images were captured through an LG GR500 Camera Phone.

Here is the route I took and some images of what I saw along the way.

Shadowman Rides Again

This morning was perfect for a bike ride. It was 48°F and blustery when I started out at 9:00 AM. And it sure felt great to be outside again!  My ride took me from Willow Grove to Doylestown and back, a total of 36 miles. Sure beats riding the trainer and watching Spinerval videos!

An FB friend uses RunKeeper to log his run workouts. I gave it a try, too. After three months of use, I can say with confidence, I no longer look like my profile photo on that site!

The lunch hour is usually spent running on the treadmill! It sure feels good to get the workout done and return to work revitalized!
