The marathon training schedule said it was time for a 20 mile run. Sure, I could have done something simple, such as run the Kelly Drive loop and add in a trip to and from Manayunk. You can do that anytime, though.
It’s March, which means that it’s one of my favorite times of the year with the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Philadelphia has a storied tradition of college basketball, particularly with its six Division I programs in the city or just outside of it (counting Villanova).
So, in honor of March Madness, here’s pictures from today’s 20 mile run by the five Division I college basketball arenas within city limits. I could have also continued onwards for another 6 miles to the Wells Fargo Center, where Villanova plays some of its games, but since Villanova didn’t really show up at the end of the season, I didn’t feel the need to show up there at the end of my run either.
