Patty Sharp will be running only her third marathon today, a little thing called The Boston Marathon.
Patty Sharp often says to her husband, "You can be on Prozac, you can drink or you can run." For her, it's running, which she started doing in college ("to fight off the Freshman 15") almost 20 years ago. Now, she says, between working and raising two kids, "it's my sanity." And her finish in the 2010 Philadelphia Marathon qualified her to run in today's Boston Marathon. According to the race's website, she's one of three Huntingdon Valley runners and you can see all of the race entrants here. Sharp loves the solitude—"It's my quiet time"—but she has a comeptitive edge, too, and has been studying the course, in addition to adjusting her training regiment to include lots of hills and tempo work across our area. "I don't go a day without …
