Atlanta is the host of the largest 10k in the world...the Peachtree Road Race with 60,000 runners. My goal in running this race was one, being a part of the race for the novelty part of it and the other was running it under 50 minutes. It was a rainy day and oh...I decided to wake up at 3:30am and get a quick 1 hour ride on the trainer before heading to Atlanta...it was still very humid and sticky with all the rain. I ran hard and weaved in and out of all kinds of people through the entire race. It was up and down with hills, but not too bad. I finished the race in 48:34 with a race pace of 7:44/mile. I was very pleased with my results. I plan to run again next year.
