Hi guys! Just registered for the Philadelphia Half Marathon on Nov. 23rd! I just started my training plan last week (using Jeff Galloway's run/walk plan), and so far, so good! It's been quite some time since I've followed an actual training plan (probably a good year), so it feels great to have some structure.

Just wanted to see if anyone else is planning to do this one. Hoping we can get a big BT group together.

I'm out in the Hershey/Harrisburg area, FYI.

I did the marathon 2 years ago and the Harrisburg marathon last year because Philly sold out. I liked Harrisburg more because it wasn't as huge. I would say that Philly has a nicer course though. It is pretty cool to run through the sky scrapers and college areas. My wife has gotten into running and I may sign up to accompany her on the half. This will be her longest ever.

Bumpity-bump!

I'm signed up for the full 26.2....'twill be my second marathon ever. Did the half last year and loved, loved, loved it. Such energy throughout the whole race. You do get Eye of the Tiger stuck in your head (and the Rocky theme) but--isn't that why we all want to do the race in Philly??

Good luck with your training! Anyone else in? The race link says we got 23 BT'ers signed up!

I'm registered for the 26.2, but may go down to the 13.1. My old injury is acting up on me whenever I try to go for long runs. I really want to do a full marathon, so I may try for the full again in 2009. I walked the 13.1 in 2007 and had a good time. (This year I will be running.) I went to college at Drexel and the course goes right through the campus (34th Street). I even get to pass my old apartment at 34th & Powelton.

I signed up for the 26.2 a little while back, definitely getting excited as it gets closer. I have a question about getting to the race.

I will have to drive to the area, since I live about an hour to the west of Philly, but is there somehow that where that I can get to the start area easily using SEPTA? I would prefer to use public transportation if possibe!
