Peachtree Road Race 2013

I did my best time in Peachtree Road Race this year! Well, not my PR but it is the best among my other peachtree road race times. Now my goal for the next year is to go below 1 hour. The weather was perfect for running yesterday, it was below 80 on July 4th! The weather, my energy jelly beans and 5 hr energy drink were the key elements for getting this year's best time. From now on I'll have those jelly beans in every race. I chewed one bean every half mile and it helped to soothe my dry throat and provided the energy to climb the hills. I passed the finish line with great joy feeling accomplished that I didn't even stop on the hills. Woo hoo! Then I found myself in a muddy park! Yes, all the rain for the last 3 days in Atlanta turned Piedmont park into a yucky muddy park :( "My New Shoes"!! Noooooooo!!
