Tens of thousands of athletes competed in the Philadelphia marathon Sunday, battling both frigid temperatures and high winds on their way to the finish line.
The 29th annual AACR Philadelphia Marathon attracted 30,000 athletes from around the world who were met with less than ideal conditions at the starting line.
Some athletes claimed the best way to warm up was to keep running; some said they even enjoyed the weather. "I used to ski, or ski race, so I was like this feels like ski racing, just think of it that way," said Emily Von Loesecke from New York City.
