4 Feet Running
She's Nik: a marathon runner who's working on her fifth 26.2-miler. He's Dan: a beginning runner who finished the C25K program and is working toward a 10K. Every week, they record themselves on a short run somewhere in New England (mostly), talk about their training, play some music, and have a few laughs.
Welcome to the 19th episode of 4 Feet Running, and Part 2 of the 2007 Philadelphia Marathon spectacular!  It's an extra-special show packed with laughs, heartbreak, adventure, romance, and glory! This week:

 - All of Nik's training pays off for the Philly Marathon

 - Nik and Dan wait in line at the marathon expo for her number, an orderly process that devolves into pandemonium in a matter of seconds

 - They attend the marathon expo and gather a bunch of swag

 - Nik and Dan try out the Sleep Number Bed, as seen on TV

 - They collect their thoughts before the big run and get psyched up

 - Nik is herded into a group of several thousand people running through downtown Philadelphia

 - She sees many of them peeing on downtown Philadelphia's bushes, just right out in the open

 - Nik's thorough post-race report includes moments of juggling, beer-drinking, and one furious runner having "the worst day of his life"

 - They read feedback from some very nice people
