Easy Run around Cooper river this afternoon

Running on the path around Cooper River Park is very relaxing.I ran a single loop around the park from the parking lot next tot he track . The Boat house is a great space if you havent seen it yet. The loop around cooper river is 3.65 miles and rather flat, as you cross the bridge at Cuthbert Blvd you get a great view of Center City Philadelphia as seen in the photo below. One of the best things of running Cooper River park besides the views is the deverse activities. Today there were several family reunions and a a large Art Festival which Donna and I are going back to Tomorrow. Another great advantage to Cooper River Park is that my wife can sit and read by the river or go for a walk while I run since she is a non runner, this makes for a great afternoon or morning for both of us. Here is a link to the running route around Cooper River Park. http://www.dailymile.com/routes/34184-walking-route-in-merchantville-nj

Monday Night I was still wide awake at 5:30am, last night I fell asleep around 10'ish pm then woke up at 11:24pm and could not fall back to sleep. I have noticed that when I can t sleep I eat all night long and Ill eat anything just to eat.

less then a week til Broad Street

What races are you training for? I am looking forward to running Broad Street with my daughter Sarah

I have signed up for the New York City Marathon in 195 days. Last year I was happy just to make through all 5 boroughs and to the finish line in Central Park. This year the goal is to finish in less then 4 hours, 3:50:00 is the target.I also have signed up for the Philadelphia Marathon. But we are just a week away from the fastest and best 10 miler in the world. The Broad Street Run. Friday I will head over to the Linc for the expo to pick up my Packet and hopefully I'll be able to pick up Dante and Sarah's packets as well.

This will be the 3 rd year running Broad Street. I am really looking forward to this years race because I will be running it with my daughter Sarah and my son-in-law Dante. We have run other races together, but nothing as big as Broad street.

I am also running on the RED Team for South Jersey Athletic Club, hopefully me and my team mates can defends last years team victory for Masters.

Tomorrow will be a cross training day of weights concentrating on upper body.

I need to drop 40 plus pounds before November.

I hope to see a lot of friends on Sunday AT THE STARTING AND FINISH LINES. Last year I ran( pardon the pun)into two people on the course that I had no idea would be running the race.
