Kevin & I taking our cool down lap inside the stadium. Kevin and I got caught Phillies Phever by running the fifth annual Phillies Charities 5K on April 28. While we have done races in December, this was by far the coldest 5K ever for us! Every year this race has sold-out, and finally we were able to get a spot. The race benefited Phillies Charities, the fundraising arm of the Phillies organization which awards grants to a variety of charitable organizations each year. Picking up our bibs the night before, we arrived at Citizens Bank Park around 7:15 a.m. We definitely needed to get down there earlier, because the exit off I-95 was gridlock and for some insane reason the Phillies organization only opened up one parking lot. Overly worried that we would not get there before the roads closed at 7:45 a.m., I was relieved when we finally arrived at the lot on Darien Street. Kevin "...
