Good day for a run
The run is done. The Philadelphia Marathon took place today under cool, crisp, perfect running weather. Daniel Vassallo, 25, of Wilmington, Mass., was the first man to finish, in a personal record time of 2:21:28. Mariska Kramer of the Netherlands was top woman, finishing at 2:38.55. About 20,000 runners in all took part.
