I'm going to turn it over to my guy, Joey Marshall, to introduce Zach and why he's joining us on today's pod.

Fantastic.

We're going to need it.

We are going to need it.

This has been episode 29 of the Dadathoners, Joey and Daryl versus the Philadelphia Marathon.

Next week, we will be sharing the Philadelphia Marathon weekend itinerary.

Oh, snap.

Areas inland will also be feeling the impact and that means changes for several plans, outdoor events.

So those events that are being canceled now include the bike for MS City to shore ride, the Philadelphia Marathon kickoff training run and the South Street Fall Festival.

Now some parties are moving indoors like Oktoberfest that were planned in both Fishtown and Northern Liberties.

I

As I said before, we weren't going to have a Sunday show.

It was going to be Monday because yesterday my wife... uh she participated in the philadelphia distance run which is a half 5k and half marathon run she normally does like full marathons but she's settling down so like she decided to do a half marathon she still likes to run she's been running ever since high school when she ran track and all this stuff she always on the go and this was no different she did absolutely uh excellent in his uh in this uh run she went under two hours which is pretty good in standard like two hours is the standard but if you go under that's even better and she went under two hours with uh with that and she still has the stamina and and the run to do this so i'm just glad that it wasn't in November with the Philadelphia Marathon.

I am...

She knows this.

I'm not a fan of the Philadelphia Marathon for a lot of reasons, but one, it's cold out there during that wintertime.

Two, she's doing a full marathon, so that's 26.2 miles, which means it's also... four hours of running for her, which she loves, but it's four hours of me being out there.

And even more, like the security has gotten so crazy with the Philadelphia Marathon that I can't even get in there until a certain time.

So if I can't get in there and I'm going in there early with her, I'm like, it's, what's the point? And then I can eat.

And that didn't seem like a good route.

And in tandem, my husband and I had started running together and we were training for the Philadelphia Marathon.

So we had lived in Philadelphia, we had moved.

So we thought that'll be a good one.

Welcome to episode 27 of the Dadathoners, Joey and Daryl versus the Philadelphia Marathon.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're now 10 weeks away from the Philadelphia Marathon.

Join us, Joey Marshall, myself, and my ball, Daryl Shreve, every single week between now and Philly on our journey to race day on November 22nd, 2026.

Guys...

Ladies, gentlemen, gents, and guys, we've got some news for you.

Next week, we're going to be interviewing Kathleen Titus.

That is Kathleen Titus, the race director for the Philadelphia Marathon.

Not sure if you all know this or not, but we're training for the Philadelphia Marathon.

I didn't expect it to be that many.

And then Philadelphia Marathon had something around 25, 27,000.

Dude, I have heard-

Which is-

What are your other big marathons that you ran?

Well, for two years, because I didn't get into the New York City Marathon, I opted to do the Philadelphia Marathon, which was very similar in time frame of the year.

It's early November.

So I did Philadelphia.
