Broad Street Mania

THERESA: Is everyone ready for Sunday's Broad Street Run? We are! We have seven women and five guys from the Daily News running (including publisher Joe Natoli, a marathon runner) teaming up to smoke the competition on Sunday (or at least complete the race before the sun goes down.) We'll be sporting bright red Daily News tank tops, so watch for us if you're at the race.

Here's a photo of some of us who will be running: Front row, left to right: Theresa Johnson, Julie Knipe-Brown, Myung Oak-Kim, Joe Natoli. Back row: Scott Hilton, Jenice Armstrong, Jeff Berger. Runners not shown: Erin Einhorn, April Adamson, Yvonne Weston, Ivan Sample, Greg Burns.

There's still time to sign up for the race! You can do so at the Runners Expo today from noon to 7 p.m., and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Remember the Expo location has changed this year-- it's at the Philadelphia Cruise Terminal at the end of Broad Street inside the Philadelphia Naval Business Center. The Expo is a great place to buy gear and goo and new socks-- whatever you need to make the race a success.

Products I recommend: BodyGlide, to apply before the race to prevent chafing (kind of pricey but amazing) and a packet of Power Gel (I like chocolate with caffeine!) to provide a boost during those last four miles past City Hall.

How did everyone's last week of pre-race training go? I had a good run Wednesday, a little faster than my usual snail's pace, and I plan to do a short, easy run today. I'll take tomorrow off to eat pasta and get psyched. My stepdaughter is coming from New York to run the race with us, and husband Dave will be running too. I expect my son, a freshman at Temple, to be cheering us from outside his dorm as we run by!

We'd love to hear today from anyone running the race or cheering on runners. In fact, here's incentive for anyone who comments today -- at 5 p.m. we'll do a drawing to give away one of our cool new Daily News tank tops. On the back they say: "WE'VE GOT BROAD STREET COVERED" (Thanks to Ellen D. for correcting an earlier, incorrect wording of this.)

I ran 8 miles Monday. However, I'm just trying to relax and give my body a rest until the race.

I am fired up!! This is my first race. I've been training since January and hopefully I will finish? I just hope it doesn't rain.

I run this race every year whether I'm in shape for it or not. It's a tremendous city-wide event filled with positive feelings and a wide spectrum of running abilites. Where else but at the Broad Street can you run for awhile with Mayor John Street, finish next to the Phillies Ed Wade and get handily beaten by Cecily Tynan?

What a perfect course - run past school so I can think about exams, run past work so I can think about that, run past the stadiums so I can think about the Phils going to the world series, then get to the end, jump in the water, get a cheesesteak and forget about it all!

Pssst: Don't want to be contrary, but they don't say, "We cover Broad Street." They say, "We've got Broad Street covered." Check out the photo.

Ellen, you're right! I was typing too fast when I wrote this! Yikes!
By the way, Triggles wins our drawing for the tank top. Congratulations!
