Daily News | Philly marathon runners toughed out cold, windy conditions

The only heat to be found on the Ben Franklin Parkway early Sunday was inside the warming tents set up for nearly 30,000 runners preparing to tackle the Philadelphia Marathon in brutally cold conditions.

“We’re used to running in the cold, so we’re prepared,” Dodge, 62, said as she rubbed her arms against the morning wind. She and Benway, who draped herself in a black trash bag as she queued up with other runners, said they were just grateful that the morning was dry. “I’ve never had any sweatshirts I was wiling to throw away, even though my wife wants me to,” he said, referring to the tradition of runners. “Plus, it was a great target for my friends to come find me.”
