Running in Philly really isn't quite what I thought it would be. Last week was my husband's birthday and our anniversary was Saturday. I planned a quick trip to Philadelphia to celebrate for the weekend. Unfortunately I could not control the weather and we had cold rain all weekend. We did our best to roll with it, spending time in museums and restaurants and stores and pushing our running plans back to Monday when there was a chance the weather would clear.
But, we woke up to this forecast this morning:
Mix of rain and snow, but working its way out of the area. Great news, but we had a strict schedule this morning. With a flight this afternoon and with the city shutting the water off at the hotel from 10am to 2pm, we were tight on time and couldn't wait. So we ordered room service and I knocked out a few miles at the gym. Instead of having views of of the Philadelphia Museum of Art or the Delaware River, I had to look at myself in the mirror.
Here's my walking tour of Philadelphia...
 |
| The Pennsylvania Dutch make the best doughnuts. Had the most delicious apple fritter of my entire life at the Reading Terminal Market. |
 |
| I really wanted to run up these stairs like Rocky. But as you can tell, the weather was atrocious and the likelihood of me tripping and falling in rain boots was ridiculously high! |
 |
| The Love Run half marathon was finishing in front of the Philly Museum of Art. Congrats to the finishers! |
 |
| At least I got a picture with the statue! |
 |
| Blue sky--yes, right before we left for the airport! |
