Philadelphia Marathon 2008

November 16th, 2008 Posted in Pre-race rambling

If you’re running the Philadelphia marathon or half marathon this Sunday, there’s a chance that I might see you. I will be cheering the runners on from a couple of places on the course. I’m sticking to the same basic plan as last year, which worked out well. I went out and bought another cowbell because I gave mine away last year.

If you’re running the half or the full marathon let me know, I’ll look out for you.

Here are some of the places that I’ll be:

Around mile 1.25 on the right hand side

Just before mile 6 on the right hand side

Around mile 15 on the left hand side

And finally, the finish!

The finish will be a zoo–but if anyone wants to meet up let me know.

    Very cool of you to be out there. It is fun to be on the other side every once in a while.

    The pics in the last post have an interesting surrealness.

    Um, I almost had a heart attack when I saw everyone had their bib number, because I haven’t gotten an email. But I looked it up, bib # 6591. Phew!

    LOVE the photoshopped pics. I will be sure to keep an eye out for you. Do you know what you’re wearing?

    Hi Shore Turtle, it’s Danny’s friend Running Skirt. I’ll hopefully be running the half marathon again this year. My bib number is 21260 and I’ll be the one in the blue skirt. I’ll try to look out for you at mile 6.

    Thanks!

    Awesome that you photoshopped yourself into those pictures, even the one with all the trees. Try as I might, though, I couldn’t find you in the finish line pic. Kind of like a Where’s Waldo thing.

    I can not wait to watch the marathon… this will be my first time watching one live and can not wait to get sumberged in the atmosphere!

    Hopefully I will be running next year… if no then 2010 for sure!

    Hey Turtle Man! I’ll look for you around mile 15, I’m sticking around the museum area-ish. I’m already finding it hard to commit to certain locations though, even though that’s the only way to ensure people see you seeing them. I hope I run into you!!
