Peachtree Run

To celebrate the Fourth of July, Jim and I got up at 4 am to run in Time Group 12 of the Peachtree Road Race.
(despite starting at 5am, the temp was over 100 for the race)
The Peachtree Road Race is the largest and arguably the most famous 10 kilometer running event in the world, boasting over 55,000 participants each year. It takes place on July 4th in Atlanta, Georgia, and is hosted by the Atlanta Track Club. The past two years, they have added three overseas Time Groups: 10 (Baghdad), 11 (Kabul, Afghanistan) and 12 (Kuwait), with the 55,000 runners in Atlanta making up Time Groups 1-9.
I trained up for the 10K run much the same way I trained up for the Santa Barbara Half Marathon with Rick and Terry... that is, I didn't do squat for three months. This wasn't my fastest time by a long shot, but at least I stayed under an hour.
I'm a little sore this morning, but otherwise OK. Jim runs five miles every other day, so he's as right as rain.
Our shirts are almost the same as the one pictured (click on it for a larger version)... except ours are sand-colored tan. Go figure.
