Another on the record books!

The Peachtree Road Race got OWNED by us! Well, not entirely - we did share the road with 55,00 other people. :) I enjoyed the whole experience, even though I still had the chest cold issue. My time was pretty slow, but that just comes from being sick and not getting enough runs in prior to the race. The good part is that I was on pace for the first 3 miles, but then I totally walked up the hills in mile 4 & 5 haha. A bonus is that my chest didn't really bother me until the end and then I thought it was going to explode because it was so tight and whatnot. But it didn't. So that's positive. :) I really enjoyed the atmosphere and I'm excited to do it again next year. :) But without the chest cold. I'm proud of all of us for finishing though - shout outs to Matt, Sarah, Tiffany, Mitch, and Savannah! :)

I've still got the chest cold going on, but it's getting better I think. I hope. I ran today for the first time since the race, and it went really well. I went to the gym to get on the treadmill so that I could regulate my pace better. I wanted to go 3 miles to just get my legs back under me and to ease back into the training. I went a little slow, but that's okay because I got it done. :) And really that's all I wanted - I just wanted to make sure I still had "it" even though I haven't been able to run a lot lately. I ended up upping the speed toward the end just to get my legs really moving and to kinda train my body that by the end of any run or race, I'm probably gonna want to pass out and be done with the whole thing, but I've gotta keep going and push through. I'm pretty proud of that part haha. Thankfully my legs didn't give out and I didn't fall off the treadmill. That coulda been bad. But kinda funny. Hah.

Anyway, hope everyone stays hydrated while running out there in this crazy Georgia heat! HONK!
