We start on the tow path in Manayunk, run up Main, loop up Kelly to the Art Museum, and run up the Schuylkill River trail, then turn around and come back on the West River side (MLK). If we need to add a few miles, we run up the tow path towards Valley Forge a few miles. It's a beautiful run, actually, I will be doing it tomorrow morning. Haha.<BR/><BR/>Great pics! And the fountain is for the Phillies AND Breast Cancer awareness month ;)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Phillies, WTF happened last night?Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623841732966475396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918797968851914213.post-33052714904686052232008-10-24T11:13:00.000-04:002008-10-24T11:13:00.000-04:00I think there is one part that you are not admitti...I think there is one part that you are not admitting here. I think you wanted to see the course so that you can strategically stash some of your bottle of Gatorade as your own personal aid station along the way. Sneaky of you !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854434513420932216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918797968851914213.post-43259583980656102312008-10-24T10:38:00.000-04:002008-10-24T10:38:00.000-04:00Great pics!

Do you stop to take the shot, or are you snapping while running?<BR/><BR/>In any case, your splits are awesome for an impromptu (sp???) run of that distance, with camera and all.<BR/><BR/>And lastly, what the hell was up with that home plate umpire last night!?!?!?!? Two of those runs against the Phils should be charged to him, and he should not be allowed to man the plate in the postseason EVER again. He made a mockery of the game, and more frustrating than anything else there was nothing that the Phils could do about it at the time!<BR/><BR/>"Strike threeeesssaaaaafeeee...???"<BR/><BR/>What a loser...Vavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695435090921005081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918797968851914213.post-14774467346806411622008-10-24T09:56:00.000-04:002008-10-24T09:56:00.000-04:00Nice run.

Now you'll know exactly what to expect and where the tough parts are located.

You're in good shape for the marathon.<BR/><BR/>The turnaround is in the middle of the street -- packed with cheering spectators.
