Comments from run215 Facebook Group:

Kim:
This was my first race since my 5ks in high school cross country (10 years ago). After high school I gained a bit of weight and worked a desk job. I took advantage of the free donuts and celebratory pizzas one too many times. Anyway, March 2015 I finally decided to change myself. I started tracking my food and joined the gym. The first day I got on the treadmill I couldn't even run a minute! I was so out of shape and winded. Once I could finally run a mile, it was a slow one (for me). A year later here I am 53 lbs down and crushing 10 miles in the rain. I am very proud of my pace/time! Next year I plan on moving up a corral. The beginning was rough trying to get around people. I felt amazing Sunday. I stressed out thinking I couldn't do it or I would be really slow but I amazed myself and currently looking for a half to sign up for!

Sara:
Alex and I ran our second tethered Broad St and beat our previous time by 2 minutes and change. Our time was 1:32:14. We've never had a rain race together and it caused a lot of anxiety for Alex the first mile. Overall though, great race with so many great spectators and volunteers in spite of the weather!

Meghan:
I had to transfer my bib this year :-( but I had a great time cheering on my husband, and everyone else I knew or just randomly yelled at! This was my first time actually seeing the elites during a race, which was cool. I started watching at Temple (I saw you! Can't miss the skirt!) and then hopped on the subway to get to mile 9 once I saw my honey. I made it with minutes to spare. All in all, spectating is fun but I can't wait to run it again!

2015 Blue Cross Broad Street 10 Miler: Why Did You Run?

Sadly, the flatter 1/2 didn't beat Broad Street
If found, please return to the faster 1/2 ;-)

On the first Sunday in May, about 40,000 runners run down one street in Philadelphia. Why do they run? The reasons are as varied as the runners. Jon Lyons (founder of RUN215) created this video to share the beautiful note written by Paul Viggiano.


Why did you run Broad Street? Share your answer and/or race recap link in the comments so we can add to this post! P.S. Comments will be posted after moderation.

Comments from RUN215 Facebook Group:

"I ran Broad Street to spend time with a friend I hadn't seen in a while...we decided to ditch our race plans and just go out to enjoy each other's company, enjoy our city and enjoy the Broad Street electricity. It was the most fun race I've ever run (and I've run many!)...there is something to be said for turning off the Garmin and soaking in the surroundings! I also ran in support of Students Run Philly Style - what an amazing organization!

Wow! I seriously surprised myself on Sunday. Thanks to The Afghan Whigs for their new record, Do to the Beast, which powered me to 5 personal records in 30 days!

And thanks to the twin powers from the flat Leah that I was carrying in my pocket! ;-)

2014 Blue Cross Broad Street Run 10 Miler with Alex's Lemonade's Team Lemon


I'm ready to take on Broad Street with @AlexsLemonade's Running Lemon! Leah and I LOVE this image of the Running Lemon taking on Broad Street and we wish the best of luck to all runners from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's Team Lemon! Leah will be our cheer leader from cyber space and I hope to run into other Team Lemon runners and ALSF staff on Sunday. We're still raising money through our "TWINS RUN BOSTON" fundraising page and no donation is too small to fight childhood cancer! You can donate $2 or more online or text LEMONADE E1113338 to 85944 to donate $10. Thanks so much for your support!

So, I told myself I'd never run Broad Street again - but I've learned to never say never. ;-) I'm ready to run my 3rd (and probably last Broad Street Run) on Sunday, May 4th. I couldn't resist running on "May the Fourth Be With You" - and hopefully the force will power me to a PR! ;-)

A Goal: 1:23:12 (PR)
C Goal: #TweetAndRun for FUN! :-)




Fighting childhood cancer, one mile at at time!

Tweet and Run

@MalindaAnnHill (slower 1/2 of @TwinsRun) doesn't follow Mark Remy's "The Runner's Rule Book." Tweeting while running isn't for everyone, but it can be a fun way to share your progress and receive encouragement during your training, running or racing.
Thanks for all the tweets and RTs during the Philadelphia Rock N Roll Half Marathon.. Thanks again to Philly.com Sports for including @TwinsRun in the article, Runners gearing up for Sunday's Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon.
I was reluctant to purchase an iPhone. But after the Broad Street Run, I knew I needed to have one. My iPhone is now a running essential!
I can't run unless I can use my Nike Plus running app!
On May 26, I ran and tweeted my way through the Oddyssey Half Marathon dressed as the Queen of Hearts!
I've been practicing my tweeting skills during my training runs. I've been using the hashtags #Irun4GG (I run in memory of my grandma GG), #GGplaylist (Random Shuffle + Grief + Gratitude) and #TweetAndRun.  

After honing my skills at cutting, pasting, cropping and typing while running, I think I'm ready to tweet and run my way to a PR during the Rock N Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon on Sunday, September 16! The official Rock N Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon hashtag is #RnRPhilly.

Now, the question is, which unique hashtag should I use while I tweet and race? Thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated! Here are some of my hashtag ideas: #RunTweet, #TweetAndRun, #TweetAndRace, #TweetNRun, #TweetNRace, #TNR, #RnRPhillyTweet. Follow @MalindaAnnHill on Twitter & instagram!

Below are links to my posts re: tweeting & running!

Sep 18, 2012
#TweetAndRun. My #RnRPhilly #TweetAndRun Tweets!

#RnRPhilly #RunHappy #TeamLemon #TwinsRun

Random Shufflle = #GGplaylist. Each song has special meaning. I hope to write more about why. In the meantime, here are the songs. I just had to run 7.8 miles. Grateful to see 567.8 miles! We run with Team Lemon.


Sep 07, 2012
Edited by Malinda Ann Hill ;-). Is you Dunkin' Cup... Half full? Half empty? Don't be 1/2 of anything... Except 1/2 of TWINS RUN! TWINS are TWICE the FUN! Leah is faster twin (that's me!) (BQ = Boston Qualifier). Malinda is ...


Sep 05, 2012
Malinda ran in 1995 & she ran 6 more! Leah ran in 2007, 2008 & 2009. If only one twin can win, which one? Each twin has her own unique characteristics. Malinda, is the "go with the flow" slow(er) 1/2. Malinda prefers to run in costume...


Aug 28, 2012
TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE! Can you donate $2 on @TwinsRun 2sDay? http://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/81058 · THANKS for your support! Malinda Runs 2 #GGPlaylist! Random Shuffle = Grief & Gratitude


Aug 19, 2012
The pain of grief and gastroparesis has been intense... Each day can be a struggle, but I keep on running... I find solace in running and I'm grateful for every mile... In 7 weeks we'll run the Chicago Marathon... 

Jul 27, 2012
#GGplaylist (Grandma's Songs & Signs). We pause this run in memory of GG... To find comfort in a Caramel Soy Misto... #GGplaylist = random shuffle + grief + gratitude. 
Jul 25, 2012
Random Shuffle + Grief + Graditude = #GGPlaylist (July 24). Random Shuffle on iPhone = #GGplaylist. Grief + Gratitude <--> Great + Grandma. Follow #GGplaylist on Twitter & Instagram!
