Today was the 25th Philadelphia race weekend. The race draws crowds of up to 30,000 and many Canadians head south of the border to get in a late fall race.

Boston 2018 winner Des Linden made it to Philadelphia for the marathon, but sadly her clothes did not. She joked in a tweet that she spent her per diem on food instead of replacement clothes. Linden was joined by Boston, New York and Olympic marathon winner Meb Keflezighi. The athletes led a shakeout on Saturday morning and presented at the expo.

Made it from Paso Robles to Philly. My luggage however did not. Headed out to buy some replacement clothes but spent my perdium at Barclay Prime on a Wagyu Cheesesteak and 1/2 bottle of champagne ??‍♀️.
