Frankie Allen Stairs

John & Evan joined us this morning on the stairs at The Frank. When the alarm went off, they got up, got dressed and got in the car. It is a simple formula. Even a 7 year old can follow it.

Michele Obama has chosen child obesity as her fight to fight. Her initiative is Lets Move! The idea is to get kids moving.

We have always welcomed participants to bring their children to the workout. Occasionally, children show up and join us.

Everyone in Boot Camp is a wonderful example to their friends and family of how to live an active life. We just do it. Invite someone to come along for the experience.

3 Peaks

The Church Run took a terrible turn this morning. As the Garden Hills Exercise Club was occupying our traditional plank crunch station at the playground, we opted for a hill workout. This mornings beating was the culmination of over twenty hours devoted to stairs and hills this year. The strength training phase of our shortened Winter period is nearly complete.

The 3 peaks are in aptly named Garden Hills. This first climb to Mike Ryders lawn is a Muther. As we peak, there is the sensation that a Boa Constrictor is squeezing the life out of us. The feeling usually starts in our forearms. The other two hills are the garden variety type. They seem tougher having done the beast first.

We did manage to throw in 600 repetitions of various core muscle exercises this morning. The total was 4 miles, 600 reps, 880 calories burnt. This workout will stay with us for 23 hours. At the very minute our bodies are reaching maximum recovery, we will be right back out there doing it again.

Happy Patty Day

There once was a group who would meet
Before Sun rise near the street
They would run all about
and together work out
as they toured the town on their feet

Peachtree Road Race

http://www.peachtreeroadrace.org/

Register today if you have not already. If you have a qualifying time to submit, submit your time and the race you ran it. The MLK Day 5K is a Peachtree Road Race Qualifier and can be found on the drop down menu of races.

The Peachtree Road Race is the biggest 10K in the world. The last American to win it was Ed Eyestone in 1991. He said the PTRR was "the Masters of road racing." There are more Olympic, professional, and elite club runners in this race than any other. Road racing is the only sport that allows us average folks to line up shoulder to shoulder with the worlds best.

The Peachtree Road Race has become part of the fabric that makes the culture of Atlanta. We will be training this year to peak 7/4. Its not how fast we run, but how good we look at the finish line that important.
