HOMETOWN MARATHON
So, who else ran Philadelphia AARC Marathon? There wasn’t much heads up in this here run report’s “Who’s Doing What?” segment over the last weeks. I didn’t let editor zen yanni know until last week, myself. ¶Well, there I was in the race on Sunday (only my 2nd time out of 20 marathons!) turning onto 4th St approaching mile 2, when along came Doc running with his daughter Desmond for her first marathon effort. We ran together for a while and she ended up finishing super admirably. I know this because of Strava, the running social media app. If you haven’t started using it on your own smart device and looking up your fave SRC runners, then you’re behind the digital times! Aside from the ones I’m not yet following (Sorry! Nothing personal) were also Vel and Howard the Younger running on Sunday, them both also doing incredibly admirably. That also doesn’t include the SRC groupies who weren’t runnin’ but spectatin’ like Katrina and Jo and Greg! The point being that there sure were lots of SRC folks hangin’ around the Philly Marathon race course in some fashion or another. ¶I don’t plan to do Philly regularly, but I know when I do, there will be SRC well represented all over the place and Strava helping to reveal all and contribute to the celebratory messaging. ¶BTW, I didn’t do such a shabby time myself with minimal training and speedwork. And I negative split.

A road race is the closest thing to a party I can think of.
--- Bill Rodgers, Bill Rodger’s Lifetime Running Plan
Runners are attuned to their bodies. They sense even tiny physical changes, the kinds that affect performance and general well-being. It was my running that first alerted me to my own illness [cancer], and my running that rehabilitated me from its ravages.
--- Fred LeBow, long-time NYC Marathon race director
That is why athletes are important, why records are important. Because they demonstrate the scope of human possibility, which is unlimited. The inconceivable is conceived, and then it is accomplished.
--- Brian Ganville, “The Olympian”
