Yesterday morning when most of the sane world was still sleeping, 30,000 runners, including five of us from 160over90, congregated in North Philly at the top of Broad Street to race ten miles in muggy 80 degree heat. We organized the team as a part of our efforts to encourage sustainability and health, and to prove that running and beer are a copacetic combination.
The Broad Street Run is deemed the biggest ten mile race in the nation, and it’s a point-to-point run that follows Broad Street from North to South (passing city hall, and the 160over90 office along the way), ending at the Naval Yards.
Race highlights included: mummers jamming on the sidwalk, marching bands, lots of gatorade, fire hydrant sprinklers, and a free soft-pretzel after the race. It was hot.
Huzzah to the finishers!

Love the drawing! I’m trying to figure out who’s who. I definitely see Michelle, Ro and Adam Flanagan. I’m assuming that’s Ms. Hartley front-and-center. Who’s the big guy with the headphones and the fancy fedora fellow?
the headphones guy is Tim, and the fedora one is JT. There’s also Brian, Gina, Heather and Leanna. ciao Adam!
