Last year, If I don’t remember wrong, a few hardcore Rocky fans set out to run the same streets Rocky run in the movie, which ended up being like a lot of miles for the average Rocky fan (like over 30 miles, I should really check!). Or was that the year before last? I don’t know. I only slept 3 hours!
Anyway, long story short, this year they turned it into a real mega-production race with a ridiculously amazing medal, my husband, who has a bunch or Ironman medals, couldn’t even…. So, Philly for the day, a 10k, visit with all friends, and a lot of coffee!
Seriously, check these pictures out and you’ll see it was a blast. Juan kept telling me: “I don’t know if I should run or punch someone”, he was so so pumped up!! Glad he stuck to the running!!!
Looks like a fun event!

I am sooo jealous! I wanted to do this event but I had opera tickets for the night before and knew I would not be up in time to drive down to Philly. On the list for next year!
