Yes, February is right around the corner. How are your resolutions? Still intact? Or....."what are resolutions"? No more holiday cookies lying around, right? Time to get to work!
I'll be honest, I was just picking up lunch, saw a salted chocolate chip cookie, and thought about placing an order with my baker. Yeeaaahhhhh.....I have a baker on speed dial! You don't? Who says work can't be fun? Who says you can't love work?
What else do we love about February? Black History Month. American Heart Month (plays nicely with the "love" theme I'm going for here).
Broad Street Run Registration opening. Groundhog Day (no shadows Phil. I'm already over the 4 days of real winter we've had). U.S. Olympic Team Marathon Trials. National Pizza Day (which is every Saturday in my apartment). Black Canyon Ultras. Millrose Games. Galentine's Day (friendship "love"). Valentine's Day (romantic "love"). USATF Indoor Championships. Fireside Frostbite Five Miler. National Margarita Day. National Frog Legs Day, which is a celebration for Leap Day. You better celebrate this now.....the next one won't be until 2028. Are we running on these days?
February love.....what else? Oh, can't Ice Cream for Breakfast Day (I just found out about there.....where have I been?!?!?). Super Bowl Sunday (are we rooting for Taylor Swift? Jason Kelce? Or is it still "Go Birds"? All of the above?). President's Day. Are we running on these days?
However you love to run, your Philadelphia Runner Family has you covered. If you missed it, we're in our 20th year running with you!!!!! Check out some of the events that we have lined up in February 2024:
