Philly/Philly area... you redeemed yourself a little bit

So, I'm REALLY not a fan of Philly. They have crabby people, crappy sports teams, and not exactly great food. Gino's Cheesesteaks irritates the shit out of me with the blah blah blah cop "MURDERED BY MUMIA ABDUL-JABBER" sign out front. I'm not a fan of cop killing or anything, but don't go toting the very iffy conviction of Mumia please? And really? Cheese-wiz??

But this time around, I stayed near Valley Forge. And I've picked up a new hobby: jogging... or is it yogging with a soft J. So to add onto the crazy stuff on this blog...now I'm going to post running trails or at least suggestions.

Valley Forge National Park is well worth the visit. You really get a chance to see the place where Thomas Paine said "These are the times that try men's souls". You really do get a better appreciation for the founding of this country and why the US loves the underdog in so many situations. It also has an amazing running trail thats a good distance.

The other place I did take a run is Schuylkill River Trail. It's a 17.6 mile trail that start somewhere and ends in west Philly (don't go there). It shaded and you get to run by a river. Is there really anything better? It's also extremely quiet and safe, I did my run at midnight and was fine, there's no lights so please be careful!

So there you go! Thanks to Kevin Kempter, I've started running and stop being a fat ass. Remember, fat is for losers....
