I saw that earlier. Wouldn't it be nice if they created the Rocky 50K?

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I think it would be very popular.
LRB...thanks for the heads up.
This was also posted on the main boards, so I will make the same comment I did there: especially impressive to run that in Chuck Taylors.

This is an awesome article. Rocky seems to be working at a tempo pace, too. Certainly not LR pace.

I hate Philadelphia, although running through Fairmount is pretty cool.
Wait, what are we talking about?
He had to have some serious chafing.
Not sure. Loose clothing. Maybe bleeding nipples?

Having more than half of the city's preteen/adolescent population as pacers is a bit extreme, methinks. Pied Piper of Philly?

I love going to Philly. My favorite part to run there is Penn's Landing. I have a Rocky fridge magnet.

Me too...getting to/around there is a logistical nightmare, which is why I generally tend not to do any races anywhere near Center City.
