The Philly 10k: August 28, 2022
On Sunday Shaun and I ran the Philly 10k. This was my fifth time running this race and his first race ever! He actually surprised me by deciding to sign up for it 3 days beforehand. Pretty ambitious to choose a 6.2 mile race as your first, but as he said he got to bang out a 5k and a 10k in one race… two for the price of one😂.
It was 90% humidity when the race started at 7:30am. It was disgusting. This race is either rainy, hot, or perfect weather. This year it was hot. We had a good time though and afterward we met up with some friends who also ran it. We got some complimentary treats including this watermelon popsicle and shake shack custard. There was also beer, but that was a hard pass. I was so thirsty after the race that I downed an entire water bottle as soon as I crossed the finish line.
