Also, thanks so much for the comment about being an inspiration :) I was tweeted following the race by someone who said that they heard about the Peachtree from me on twitter and he ran his first one this year - that is what this blog is all about :)Tim Wilsonhttp://blog.262quest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-73664373997709844922011-07-05T09:14:19.955-04:002011-07-05T09:14:19.955-04:00p.s.

We ran it last year because it was a race that welcomed runners and we wanted to start a new July 4th tradition as empty nesters. This year interestingly enough, a friend of mine from Conn. came to Boston to run it with us. She always ran the Peachtree Road Race until they moved from Atlanta. She talked to us about the tradition of the Peachtree and she ran it every year with her dear friend. She said she was thrilled to run the Harvard Pilgrim 10K with one of her 'new friends.' It is an incredible feeling to be out running on the Fourth of July, flags waving, hoses turned on, people cheering and for me, I celebrate the blessing of the freedom to run!Maryamcmanusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-57786465345586351452011-07-04T22:16:15.785-04:002011-07-04T22:16:15.785-04:00Hey Stephanie - I saw some people with the yellow ...Hey Stephanie - I saw some people with the yellow Brooks uniforms on, and it was very possible one of them were you :)We lined up near the front of Wave A on the Lenox side as well. You may have also seen us because we kinda caused a scene when the CBS Atlanta Reporter and her camera man decided to come over and interview my daughter's and I about 10 minutes before race time.<br /><br />That is very cool that you guys have been running the Peachtree for so long, thanks for stopping by! :)Tim Wilsonhttp://blog.262quest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-43095039739082547572011-07-04T05:07:01.367-04:002011-07-04T05:07:01.367-04:00Hi Tim!

Maybe we will see you there! Hope you have a great race!<br /><br />My husband and I started running the Peachtree in 1996. I have missed only one of the intervening years (DH has not missed any). I started running early in 1996 as a way to relieve some stress and the ridiculous goal of completing a 10K seemed like a good way to seal the deal and we have never looked back.
