Coasted Home

Easy. There was a question yesterday about Peachtree Road Race Training. "Is there going to be some intense training the week before the race?" The intense training is over. The week before the race is for rest, recovery, rejuvenation, relax, and easy runs. Any hard running done from this point forward steals from the race. We can not help our fitness 10 days before the race, we can only hurt it. Some of us will be meeting at E Rivers all next week at 6AM for easy runs.

This mornings group had fun. Jeffrey made his glorious return and the horses cantered around Bobby Jones. The run was interrupted by frequent stops for push ups. This mornings total was 234 (a new record). One push up for each of The United States Of America's years. Happy Birthday U.S.A.

A special thanks to all the special folks who made this 7 week session special. We have come to rely on each and every one of us. The group is what makes group training work.

  1. Thank you Chip for another great session. Good luck to everyone running the PRR! PS - Thanks Chip for the added motivation this morning by offering for me to stay behind. It worked!
