Peachtree Road Race 2010...

... or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Just Follow the Crowd

Sunday was my 2nd Peachtree Road Race - 6.2 miles down Atlanta's most famous road.

The weather was lovely - much cooler than last year. The company was the same - Molly and Heather, my two lovely girls.

The race itself didn't do much for me this year. It's not the race; it's me. I just wasn't as enthused for some reason. It's possible that I'm so spoiled by Disney races that all others seem kind of meh by comparison now.

Things seemed a little more crowded this year, though I have heard other runners say the exact opposite. It's probably due in large part to the fact that we started way back in the T wave. By the time we were done, the park was insanely crowded. Brian was having trouble even getting into the park to meet us, so we left to meet him. We were routed with everyone else up 8th st. to the train station, which took a long time and was a very crowded walk. MARTA was a nightmare, though Heather had the smartypants idea to take the southbound down one station and then switch to Northbound, which was a perfect plan. There's a reason she has all those degrees.

But, once we got home, things got rolling for our cookout, which was a blast! So yay for food and friends! And oh, yeah, Independence.
