My first Peachtree was a blast! I won't post my time but will say that it was the best I've ever done. So, I'm pleased. FUN!

Don't mind your time.

I'm not sure how long it took me elapsed, but the clock was at 1:11 when I went under---
My next 10K, my plan is to try for 58 minutes. What time you get in Peachtree is not the point...
It's all about the fun and the PARTY! (Oh, and the t-shirt)

For me, at least this year, it is definitely all about the t-shirt. I may never take it off...
It was really fun yesterday as we walked around the Marietta Square to see others that had run as well. So many people would say, "Did you run? Congratulations!".
I hope I can run it again next year.

The Peachtree this year...

...the weather was great, my time was fine (not my best, but I got a top 1000 mug), and I actually liked the shirt this year.

Despite all that, I'm looking ahead. I just registered for the Chickamauga Marathon in November (if you aren't ready for a full, they also have a 10-miler that is supposed to be nice). I know a couple of you either are or are thinking about doing it, so keep me posted on training, news and the like...

Thanks-
fonsie

Yay! You'll finish way ahead of me (my GOAL is 4:30), but still cool to have people I "know" at the race

I was pleased with my P'Tree this year. It's my 3rd fastest 10k ever and while it wasn't the time I really wanted..I'll take it considering I had to set up the expo on Sunday, and work both Monday and Tuesday. My legs were shot...and was working on little sleep as well (that has since caught up to me). The first few miles were a little rough...my legs were just dead..but when we started going up hill, I started to get a second wind. I finished 54th (I think) and ran 32:48... but the highlight for me was on Tuesday morning I was asked to run the course with the Hanson's team and show those guys the course...super nice guys!

Congrats to all who ran!!

OH! And I got some pretty good tv time when I was finishing!

Depends which police department took his pic. Oh, you mean his Peachtree mug. Sorry.

Hi everyone! I am somewhat new to running (started last year) and ran my first Peachtree last week. I mostly just wanted to introduce myself and say hi, but also, is anyone in a running group? I don't run fast (about 10 min/mile) but would love to run with a group. I was thinking of trying out the Virginia-Highland Wednesday night group, but I'm a little bit of a wimp in the heat so I thought I might wait a couple months.

Anyway, hi!

I just found out about this and will be attending soon. They meet twice a week- on Saturdays for shorter, slower runs, and Wednesdays for faster/longer outtings. It sounds like you'd be well suited for the Saturday morning group.

I meant to ask this awhile ago, but do any of y'all have the Nike+ system?

If so, it would be fun to do an Atlanta challenge.

How far do you run the 10 min miles for?
Because, I've totally wanted to try the VA Highland group, but been too embarrassed that I'll be too slow.
We should show up the same day-- then we know at least one other person will be running that speed.

Late in posting my 1st peachtree experience (been outa town)
but it was all I expected and more! My only trouble was in
drinking water 1hr before start instead of waking up and drinking 2hrs before. By the time I walked and found my group and then waited 20mins or so for start I was in trouble.
So a little over 1 mile in I found a dozen or so porta's off to
the side and made a 1:30 pit stop.(not what I wanted but
it was the right call)
Rest of the race was awesome. I hugged the middle yellow
line, walkers off to the right and people moving on to the left.
Loved the music/bands and all the support from the spectators. I didn't have any problems. Got used to weaving
to make sure I didn't hit anyone but making sure I was clear
of anyone flying up on me. I did start to struggle a couple of hundred yard down 10th and started thinking "where is the
finish line? But I made it, got my wonderful shirt, and can't
wait till next year.
