Yesterday I finished my 10th Peachtree. For those of you not from Georgia, the Peachtree Roadrace is the biggest 10K Race in the USA, with close to 60,000 runners and is a 4th of July tradition in Atlanta. It is early in the morning, hot, crowded, and a highlight of my summer. Runners either love… Continue reading Why I Love the Peachtree
