Extreme Veteran 763   |  Subject: I'm not proud of it....Ok I'm in Philly for 10 days or so. Today I ran 8 miles and ran up the museum steps. I said I wouldn't do it then for some reason this morning I just got pulled in that direction. Do I need to go to some kind of counseling for tacky movie reenactments? I didn't jump around at the top and I didn't cry about it. Kevin |

| 274 | Subject: RE: I'm not proud of it.... Did you organize a group of children to chase you? For the record, this is something I've wanted to do, well, the steps part, for a while, but the last few times I have been in Philly the weather was just terrible. It's on the list though. Be proud of it. |

| 754 | Subject: RE: I'm not proud of it.... The last time I was in Philly was before I started running. If I ever go back, I am doing that. At Savageman last year (maybe they are there every year, it was my first year racing) someone at the top of a hill on the run was playing the Rocky theme song. I pumped my arms in the air and did the side-to-side bounce. Also, this spring when I rode by bike across Death Valley, I took my running shoes and ran a mile at Badwater. Yeah, I'm a dork. |

| Extreme Veteran 763 | Subject: RE: I'm not proud of it.... Ok thanks. Yes it was in the morning and there was actually a girl planking sideways up the stairs. I snuck up the left side then across the front and down the other side. Not in the middle. I did not race any kids and I did no test raw eggs. I wore mizunos, no hoodie and I have no hair so I didn't look like I was going as fast no hair blowing. Someone asked me I took a picture with the statue, but I ran by and didn't even see the statue. I thought it was only in the movie |

The statue moves...it used to be at the spectrum(before it was torn down, and the last time i was there it was at the bottom of the stairs way off to the side. My understanding was that the art museum didn't consider it "art" and didn't want it there. I think they suck! |

Stallone actually wanted to have the statue right up top and in the middle, where the plaque is. The museum did not agree... |
