Cocktail Party

Johnny on the spot

Runners can be characterized generally as a care free group of people. Anyone willing to put on their underwear and run down the street cant take themselves too seriously. Running gets the juices flowing. Runners usually sweat. But the juices inside get flowing too. Our blood is pumping more oxygen to our muscles. Our brains are producing adrenalin, testosterone and endorphin. There is a lot going on. The net effect is something along the lines of getting high. It has long been called "runners high."

A group of people running, talking and exercising together may sound something like a cocktail party. Peachtree Road Boot Camp would look more like the pretty people cocktail party.

The pretty people cocktail party is all inclusive. Everyone is invited. Occasionally, we run across someone not so pretty who can not keep up. Feeling excluded and a little lonely (jealous), they lash out us. They scream at us. They try to run us off.

It happened 3 times today. A new Boot Camp record: Old Fat Cop on Peachtree, Super nice security at Lenox, Cranky lady at the old folks home on W Paces.
