Running Roosevelt was a bit crazy--extra hard pavements, plenty of traffic. Bill and I wore bright lime running jackets so we stood out. Saying hi to people waiting for buses was interesting. We ran into Broad Street where part of the Temple University complex lie.
Hannah Berg, Amy, Jim, Rob A, Rob E, Tara, and I ended up at the Art Museum. Taking photos by the Rocky statue and steps were the order of the day. As representatives from Team DMSE rounded the corner, we joined in to run into the Philadelphia City Hall. Meeting Mayor John Street was interesting--Mayor Street is a former marathoner and works to keep his fitness level after years of public service. He was very generous with his time, and seemed genuinely interested in our trek to end childhood obesity and cancer.
After getting lost around Media, PA--we ended up in a deli store. A lady was kind enough to pay for our lunches. She seemed geniunely interested in philantrophic events. That felt really good.

Route 1 was challenging--plenty of traffic and narrow shoulders. Jim and I ended up our 1o mile run in Kenneth Square, a place I use to visit when I lived in the area.
Interesting day meeting the mayor and running through the Philadelphia area.
