Yesterday morning I trudged into Philly and competed in the Philadelphia Distance Run Half Marathon. It was an awesome event with over 10,000 runners competing. It was also one of the Rock 'n' Roll series of races so every couple of miles there was a band cranking out great music. And as expected, no Philly event would be complete without playing the theme from Rocky which I believe was performed by a group of 13 and 14 year olds called The Dogz.Once again I did not win the race but I did finish in the top 16%.
After the race and several Advils later I headed back home because its restaurant festival time! This is by far and away the biggest festival in West Chester and definitely worth a trip to the area. Basically, restaurants from all over the area converge on to West Chester and set up food stands throughout the town. There was everything from crab cakes to pizza, funnel cakes to water ice, and yes there was even barbecue.

Hey BBQB,
The Restaurant Festival was amazing, especially the variety of BBQ. Did you get a chance to taste Capt'n Dick's BBQ at the Baxter's both? It was so popular they ran out by 3:30 with a line of severely upset would-be-patrons down the block. Love your blog!
Actually I didn't get a chance to try them out. I'll look for them next year. I had also planned to try out the pig roast over at the Square Bar but by the time I got over there I was stuffed. I did stay for the Dead cover band though which was a lot of fun. Glad you like the blog.
Sounds like my kind of festival! I'll need to make sure to visit the festival next year.
