Family Time in ATL

Brad and the family drove down to Georgia this summer to visit us for a week. They actually just left this morning at about 5:30 a.m. for their drive back. We had a great time and the kids have so much fun together. They are already pestering me to go visit them for Christmas vacation. We'll see....

Some jellyfish at the aquarium -one of my favorite exhibits

It was a busy week but unfortunately I didn't take a lot of photos. We went to Stone Mountain, The mall of Georgia, Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Raccoon Cave, and of course visited our pool several times. We did get a lot of rain this week but at least it kept the temperatures down a bit while they were here.
Brad and I had some good laughing time and watched some nice movies to inspire it, like: We're the Millers, Get Hard, and Dumb and Dumber to. We also enjoyed some really good beers and visited the Lincoln Filling station a couple times.
I miss them already. Back to work tomorrow :(

2015 Peachtree Road Race

I ran my 3rd Peachtree 10K in a row with Robyn. This long standing 4th of July Atlanta tradition was one of the wettest on record. They actually had t stop the race for a while before wave M started due to the weather. Robyn and I started in wave E and we're already out running so it didn't affect us.

Pre-race with my new free headband....I didn't race with this on.

The rain kept the weather cool and it really didn't bother us at all while running. The only nasty part was the wet ride home on Marta (train). This year instead of running my own pace, I ran with Robyn and we decided to visit the stands giving free stuff. We just wanted to enjoy the Peachtree and the atmosphere. I got a free Krispy Kreme donut, a Mellow Mushroom Koozie (don't know how to spell that), a head band, and a small cup of Sweetwater's IPA.

We finished the race with a delicious breakfast the Nick cooked us up (Robyn's husband) and a couple tasty beers including a sour. It was a great time as always but next year I think my goal is going to be to volunteer at the race as an ATC member instead of running it. Time to give back some love to the running club.
