Crazy 8s

Atlanta is a running town. Atlanta hosts the largest 10K in the world. Atlanta hosted the Olympics. The Atlanta Track Club is one of the two largest and most active clubs in America. The changing seasons allow for outdoor activity year around.

The Peachtree Road Race is on the 4th of July. There is nothing more American than waking up, lacing up and lining up in front of Lenox with 55 thousand of your closest friends(in your underwear). The beautiful thing about the PTRR is the PTRR is a beautiful thing. Everything about it. Helicopters, T.V. coverage, Africans (and the other fastest), Bands, Cheering crowds, costumes, Piedmont Park, Marta, colors, smells... The only thing that sucks is the 5th mile.

We (all of us) are completely exposed (fitness wise) in the annual journey. We can not fake it here. Oh sure, we can and usually do make excuses. But, the results don't change. We (in a fitness way)are our results. So, if we really want a goal we can all shoot for, the fourth of July is it. It is every ones birthday, and we are all having a party that everyone is invited to. So lets spend the next 3 weeks preparing for our party.

6 miles, 600 repetitions of various core exercise. Good party preparations.
