Does anyone have any idea when the Labor Day road race website will be updated? I know the race flyer directs people to the website, and I had a question about it from someone at work.

Also, is anyone going to the Magnolia 4-mile run at the Perimeter mall next weekend? I'll be driving up to run it with a friend who lives in Atlanta, so if anyone wants to carpool, let me know.

Perry,

I have yet another question for you!!!!!!! I am going to be training pretty hard from July 4th to Sept 17 (race day). Do you reccommend winding it down at some point or do I continue right through until race day?? I would think that one would, at some point, take it down a notch in order for muscles to recover. I am thinking that the last week would be sufficient......if that is the case....what kinds of runs would I do in the last 1 or 2 weeks before the race in order to maintain?

Cemetary run? That sounds interesting.

I've unfortunately never done it with them, but there is a GEICO group that's been running at Rose Hill cemetary on Thursday afternoons at 5:30. Not sure they're doing it this time of year, since that's the hottest part of the day.

Rose Hill is one of the oldest cemetaries in town and a pretty historic place - take a look at it sometime. It's just off Riverside Drive near Spring Street. You'll be able to tell immediately that it's pretty serious hill training, and not nearly as creepy as it sounds.

Don't forget the group run every Wednesday evening at Run Fit Sports, we try to get out of here at 6:15, but it is usually about 6:30 before we get out and get going. All levels of runners, just depends on what your looking for.

Ok, Perry ? what?s it take to join the team? You said you?re a little more flexible than Kyle & his lofty standards. Here?s my current PR list:

5K 23:36
10K 48:29
½ marathon 1:54:04
Marathon 4:14:34

I've won my age division often enough, that is unless April Beck shows up. (Is that girl ever gonna have a birthday?) And I?ve been 1st overall in a few:

Macon Challenge 10K 10/04
Callaway Gardens 5K 1/05
Battle of Byron 5K 5/05

There might be one more, but this is what I could think of off the top of my head. I keep track on my race bibs and they?re all on a hook back at my office.

Ok, I know I pretty much suck, but I also know I can do better if I have something to reach for besides a stupid age division trophy. Just give me a goal to shoot for and I?ll work my tail off. Scott?s the same way ? just needs a reason to train. No wait, we?re talking about Scott here, I should?ve said ?practice.? His 5K PR is 20:39, but I?m not sure about the other distances for him. Don?t do us any favors because we?re customers, though. I want this to be totally legit, otherwise it?s like finding out somebody let you win ? just plain embarrassing. So just tell me what to do, coach.
