Free library of Philadelphia closing down all branches/programs/services as of Oct 2! Score 1 for opponents of free access to info for all

Ran two miles today--took forever. 12 minute mile is nothing to be proud of. Have 3 weeks to go till 5k race! Run run run...

[katie beach @katiethebeach]

Got talked into running 5k race--wierdly, am enjoying running again. It's cheaper than gym membership, plus: street cred.
