There’s great food there, if you live there you’ll get the lay of the land soon enough.

Hoagies

If you ate hoagies, that’s on you.

I popped a hamstring last year while sprinting to cross an intersection before a light changed color. It took about 48 hours before I stopped limping and I otherwise was fine, but I definitely noticed it for about a month if I found myself trying to run to catch a bus before it drove away.

Thus began my life of laziness…

#45

I think that most people run because they didn’t start early enough.

Thats Jack’s Firehouse! (on my top Philly list) Since it is in an old fire station they open up the whole front in the summer so it would appear to have “no wall”.

Yeah think so.Really good place.There were no homeless people around which was also a good thing,I get really guilty of eating something when I think someone mayble looking at me and not being able to afford it.There was this Italian resturant in chestnut, I forgot the name of it but with really decent food.

Always amazed at people waiting near the door to exit the LIRR train in the morning, they are saving a max of maybe 10 secs…

#49

Funny, I seek out places where I can eat in front of people who could never afford it. I make it point to send back 1/2 of the plate with instructions to throw it away. Different strokes I guess.

Power walking with a purpose is masculine. Running for any other reason than working out is feminine.

#51

What about running to catch the bad guy?

#52

Use black magic to catch the guy.

#53

An option not available to everyone.

#54

Agree with point two. Point one, might disagree, depending on definition of power walk. A man with his sh*t together and enough self-confidence shouldn’t need to hurry anywhere. I can’t imagine Putin running between meetings. He’ll get there when he gets there. It demonstrates calmness and poise to others when you’re not hurrying about.

#55

Using the term power walking is feminine.

#56

Being so concerned about how your perceived by others is probably the ultimate feminine move. It’s one step removed from studying pick up artists. Anyhow, I’m very curious to see how Putin’s reign ends as he approaches later years. He might pull it off, who knows.

I have to admit doing that myself on occasion, people usually get out of the way. My wife, however, bumps into people all the time as she’s one of those women that walks in pairs or threes and never moves. She moans at me if I speed up and walk in front of her and if I slow down to drop back she also slows down.

Someone walking with a purpose in his steps, not floating around nonchalantly as if he’s looking for directions…or worse texting.
