Several family members meet each day at the repair shop after work and drive to Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park in South Philadelphia for their daily runs. Sometimes we run down 17th Street to the park, Mickey Jr. said. It s tough to get motivated every day to go, but having the Broad Street Run in mind gives you a reason to do it. Each September, Mickey Jr. also runs the Philadelphia Distance Run half-marathon. I come back and forth two, three times a day.
Tammy works out in a gym and has run several shorter races.
But I can t talk her into the Broad Street Run, Mickey said. Jacqueline might be a future Broad Street runnner. My wife takes her to the gym because she s not in school yet, Mickey said. The other day, she ran eight times without stopping around the track, which I think is three-quarters of a mile. If you experience any problems with the Daily News Web site, please let us know.
