Yes, I do and guess what I did today??
I made an impromptu decision and registered for another race.
While running up a hill during the Helper’s Fund 10K, I chatted with a runner named Heidi. We then became friends on Facebook and she encouraged me to register for this race. The lowest price deadline was today so I had no time to think about it.
Hence, I will be running a half marathon in Philly on March 30, 2014! Yikes! (At least Heidi registered too.)
ABOUT:
Philadelphia introduces The Love Run. The City’s newest, premiere Spring half marathon. Your love of running combined with all the great sights and sounds you love about Philadelphia.
NON TRADITIONAL PERKS:
- VANITY (TAGS) BIBS
Always wanted a vanity tag? Now you can have it. Put your message on your bib whether it’s your nickname, a cause or your name (boring). That’s the spirit! - COMMEMORATIVE COFFEE MUG
Every finisher gets a celebratory coffee mug, filled with some sweet treats, to be used at the Finish Line Coffee & Hot Chocolate Bar. “I LOVE to finish” - FREE RACE PHOTOS
Now that’s enough to make anyone smile.
TRADITIONAL PERKS:
- Superior performance technical shirt
- Unique Finish Medal
- Free Training Plans
- Finish line party featuring our new Coffee & Hot Chocolate Bar
My tentative plan is to fly out early Saturday, March 29 and fly back late Sunday, March 30. This destination race is just a race…no vacation!
Now I will be motivated to train in the COLD winter NE weather.
Happy Running! Anyone want to join me?


That’s awesome! I wish I lived closer so I COULD join you! You are going to kick butt! It’s going to be cold, but it will be worth it! ❤

Sounds like a great race. I just ran a half marathon in Philly in September, and the course for this race sounds similar. It was flat flat flat, which is awesome.

Yes, I registered for the race. Usair flies out of Albany. It is an hour flight. Haven’t booked that yet. Now I have to find a NYC race.

How much does the flight tend to run?

$312. But I ‘ll use frequent flier miles.

I am registered as well, we will have to get together for a photo op! Luckily, I live an hour away, so I will most likely drive in that morning. Or we might get a hotel, I am not sure yet!
