OOPS WE DID IT AGAIN





What a great race course ! We ran through some awesome neighborhoods.



At the start we were wearing our designer trash bags to stay warm, it was a cool 46 degrees. We got off to a good start as we ran through down town Atlanta. We made a wise choice in stopping at a Publix for a potty break instead of waiting in the lines. We were headed for the bridge and across the interstate. We did have time to stop and get our picture taken by a nice lady who was walking the race and offered to take the picture. Running down the hill and pass Ebenezer Church, turning left and pass the old 4th ward District and on to Little Five Points. And then it started a pain going around the outside of my right knee. We had to walk more but still could do some running. While Katy made a potty stop I came upon the medic tent and stopped and asked for some aspirin ( can't do a race with out a stop at the medics). We were walking more but enjoying the course, the trees were in blossom and flowers were out. Passing the Jimmy Carter Center we headed through Piedmont park and on to mile 10 where are cheering squad was. It was nice to see some familiar faces (Tom, Maddie and Riley) holding up signs for us. By the time we reached the final stretch there was no way I could run but we finished an received our medals. Our cheering team was at the finish to see us cross. We did it again, now this is suppose to be my retirement for 1/2 marathons but I've been thinking ....
