Pre-Peachtree Road Race 10K

Peachtree Road Race 10K

Atlanta is home to one of the largest (if not the largest) 10K races - the Peachtree Road Race.  Over 50,000 people run this race each year bright and early on the Fourth of July.  There are a ton of spectators along Peachtree Street and lots of people wear red, white, and blue.  Its a lot of fun!

If I'm in town, I will definitely run it but I decided to set up a little pre-Peachtree Road Race run just in case.  I knew my friend Donna over at Yoga In Heels would be on board, so we planned to do a joint event.  Unfortunately, only one person (Eric from this post!) showed up out of the hundred we invited!  No biggie - we had a blast as always.  Check out our video below.  We planned to vlog along the course, but unfortunately it started pouring rain about 1/2 mile in, so now it's short and sweet instead ;o)


To add insult to injury, not only was it raining, but I also locked my keys in Donna's car...at the Start.  My car was at the Finish and I was supposed to drive us all back.  Good one, huh?  No worries - we got a ride to our cars and had a lovely dinner at Cantina.  I had chocolate milk and the Trailer Park chicken taco - mmm, mmm good!

How do you plan to stay active this weekend?  As the Tone It Up girls always say - if you don't make good choices on the weekends then you are cheating half the month! Eric and I are doing a 5 mile lap around Stone Mountain and then a 1.3 mile trip to the top of it and then a 1.3 mile trip back down.  Yes, we are rockstars! ;o)

Speaking of Tone It Up, there will be no cheating for me this weekend as I start the 5 Day Slim Down today to finish off the last five days of the Bikini Series on top!  I've never done it over a weekend before...eek.  Wish me luck!
