Running down a dream
Today was a great day to run till you can't run no more. Well many people from all over the world put that to the test today in the 15th annual Philadelphia Marathon. Though it was a bit chilly outside for a run, it didn't stop the runners (all 18,000 of them) from crossing the finish line. Andrey Toptun, 27, won the men's race in a time of 2 hours, 19 minutes, 58 seconds. Fred Kieser, 37, of Cleveland, Ohio placed second in 2:22.45. Vera Ovcharuk, 27, took honors in a time of 2:44.03 for the womens race.
Scott, a Philly local, prepares his final sprint to the finish line right in front of the Art Museum. Nice job to all of the runners today. Now if only I could get off the couch.

I was down there. It was a lot of fun. Didn't run though. I hope Philly's marathon becomes as popular and NYC and Boston.
Who's that guy? so good looking.
