About a week ago I got two numbers for the Peachtree Road Race. Amy has run it about a dozen times but I have never had the experience. I always felt that the huge crowd would make it miserable. I thought 55,000 other runners would make me feel a little claustrophobic. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was a blast! We rode Marta with past clients and friends, Karen and Chris up to Buckhead and then jumped in after the first couple of groups came by since our numbers would have had us starting in the way back. It was cool to spectate as the wheelchairs and the fastest runners went by. The crowd of runners was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I even snagged a Moe's and a Chick-fil-A t-shirt that were being thrown to runners. I almost took a guy out for the Chick-fil-A shirt. Since Amy is in the middle of training for the Chicago Marathon and I am training for a 50mi. ultra marathon we ran home to get some extra miles in. It was not too hot and we really enjoyed the run. We even got to take a nap afterwords since Amy's parents were watching Anna.
